When Gerard Cochran loses his father at Waterloo he is alone, wounded, and without direction until rescued by an aged French general. Yet when two English cousins show up to rescue him, one of whom is the beautiful and sympathetic Juliet Chandler, he is reluctant to go with them into yet another plan someone has made for his life. But then they kidnap him and the temptation of Juliet's lips is too much for any mortal to resist. Juliet and her brother insist on Gerard's return to England to save Juliet from a forced marriage and to prevent their grandfather's estate going to another cousin, whom they don't like. Can Gerard play this game and win Juliet's hand?
