Working as a governess in a country house, Ingleton Hall, Hephzibah begins to rebuild her life. Drawn to the handsome and elusive Thomas Egdon, she must avoid the unwanted attentions of his father, her employer Sir Richard, the squire of Ingelton Hall.

Who is the mysterious woman who steals the green velvet ribbons from Hephzibah's bedroom in the middle of the night and what is the secret Thomas Egdon is concealing from her?

An impulsive decision by Hephzibah unleashes a chain of events that lead to dangerous consequences.
