Miss Lucinda Potts is in desperate need for an escape from her brother's home. When a handsome stranger suggests in passing that she should leave England in search of adventure, she becomes enthralled with the idea.

Andrew Yeats, the prodigal and scandalous Viscount Brookfield, never thought the delightful Miss Potts would take his suggestion about international adventure to heart, but she's done just that. Guilt and concern over her safety plague him, and Drew becomes just as determined to save the lady as she is for her escape.
