Audrey fforbes-Hamilton, a woman struggling to cope with her husband's passing, is faced with the daunting task of selling her beloved stately home. As she adjusts to a new reality, she takes it upon herself to teach the new owner a lesson about what it truly means to be noble.

However, she soon finds herself back at the manor when Richard DeVere, the new owner, inherits the property. To keep an eye on him, Audrey purchases The Old Lodge on the manor grounds. As they spend more time together, Richard and Audrey develop feelings for each other, but their shyness prevents them from acting on their emotions.
