The novel is set in Georgian-era England, and centers around Jessie Fox, the daughter of a prostitute, being taken in by the old Marquess of Belmore to be raised as a lady. The Marquess intends to have the Jessie marry his son Matthew, a Navy captain, so that they can both inherit the Belmore title after he passes. Matthew, knowing Jessie's reputation as a street child, believes that Jessie is manipulating his father into treating her like a lady, while Jessie fears that her true backstory will be discovered by the public and tarnish the Belmore name.
