The Reckless Baron Harriet runs away from her family to be with Robert the Baron, the man she loves and believes will brighten up her life from her current boring existence, and show her the world!

Realising their misunderstanding, Robert and Harriet both finally agree, after much argument, that Harriet must return home and the two must get back to their separate lives. Their plan to return Harriet all fares well until they are ambushed during their journey by a highwayman.

The Marquess gave his word to his father to make Victoria into a lady. But it soon becomes apparent that there is a strong, intense connection between both the Marquess and Victoria, one that they are unable to restrain as they start a passionate affair together! But Victoria does not want the life her mother led and to become just a mistress.
