He's offered an opportunity he can't refuse: to love.
When Christopher Satterthwaite rescues Clementine Wright from would-be kidnappers, he is offered an opportunity he can't refuse. Clem's father, a wealthy coal magnate, has been looking for a husband for his only child. Someone with aristocratic bloodlines and no family-someone who can give him the blue-blooded heir he craves, without the interference of noble relatives.
Chris figures he and Clem can work together to keep Wright from controlling their every move. As their partnership develops, they fall in love. Wright doesn't stand a chance against them. Or does he?
And what about the other men who are showing an interest in the child who is soon on the way? Chris's reprobate grandfather is hanging around like a bad smell, and clearly has a scheme in mind. Chris's more respectable relatives have not disowned him after all, and are eager to shower the as-yet unborn child with every advantage-because they regret not helping Chris as a child? Or for purposes of their own?
And then there is Ramping Billy O'Hara, the most sinister of them all, and Chris's patron.
Some are villains. Some are on the side of the couple and their child. Only time will tell which is which.
