Orphaned at a young age, William Hawkins has lived a difficult life. Employed at a grand house, he feels he has finally found his place in the world, though he has always wondered what life would be like being a member of the ton. Everything is turned upside down when he learns that he is the long-lost heir to a massive fortune and a Dukedom he never knew existed.
Miss Marianne Blithe, the daughter of a once wealthy merchant, finds most men who come calling to be dull and boring and realizes that love is elusive at best. What she hopes is to find a gentleman who will see her as more than another servant in his household and will love her for who she is.
With their family fortune faltering, Marianne and her mother are employed to teach William the ways of the ton in exchange for business opportunities for Marianne's father.
During his training, William and Marianne find themselves in quite a dilemma - they have become attracted to one another. However, as the date of William's introduction to society draws near, Marianne notices changes in the man that make her wonder if their love will be strong enough to withstand the arrogance he has adopted, and William wonders if being a Duke is worth giving up who he truly is at heart.
