Though she prefers not to show up, widow Gail Saunders knows that she has no choice but to attend the reading of the will of George Davane at the castle of the deceased's cousin, Raoul, the Earl of Saville. Gail plans to reject any inheritance sent her way. However, George knew her too well; her eight year old son Nicky inherits a large sum of money. This bequest leads to much speculation and intrigue as to the lad's biological father. Though her reputation is destroyed, the mysterious Gail refuses to reveal anything about the birth of her beloved son, preferring to leave it as an enigmatic puzzle.

Gail falls in love with Raoul. And knowing that they can never marry she decides to become his lover. However, happiness turns into a fleeting illusion as someone tries (and almost succeeds) to kill Nicky. Gail and Raoul know that they must uncover the identity of a villain, who finds the child's inheritance threatening his/her lifestyle before another attempt occurs. If they fail to solve the who-done-it, an innocent child could be murdered.
