Earl’s daughter Lady Honoria Carlow flees London after a scandalous disgrace to take refuge with her aunt in Cornwall and try to figure out who engineered her ruin and why.
There, she encounters handsome Irishman Gabe Hawksworth, known locally as "the Hawk," who is temporarily captaining a smuggling vessel as a favor for the army friend who saved his life.
Though her family would be appalled at her attraction to a "low-born free trader," there’s something about the well-spoken Gabe that calls out to the free-spirited Honoria, even as Gabe wonders about the unexpected appearance of this mysterious beauty.
Until an attraction that should never have been becomes a compulsion too strong for either of them to resist!
