Keď Katherine „Kit“ FitzGilbertová pred desiatimi rokmi opustila Londýn, zaprisahala sa, že už nikdy nevkročí na žiaden ples. No keď ju povinnosti týkajúce sa uzavretia istého obchodu privedú do Londýna a ona sa ocitá v ohrození života, počas úteku narazí nielen na oslnivú plesovú sieň, ale tiež na Grahama, lorda Whartona. To, čo sa spočiatku zdalo iba ako náhodné stretnutie, sa postupne stáva oveľa vážnejším, keď sa Graham vydá po stopách priateľovej zmiznutej sestry. Je presvedčený, že Kit vie o dievčati viac, než priznáva. Po stretnutí s lordom Whartonom si Kit po prvýkrát v živote želá, aby všetko bolo inak, no nezáleží na tom, po čom túži.

Na jednej strane by Grahamovi veľmi rada všetko vysvetlila, no zároveň nemôže riskovať, že odhalením pravdy by ublížila tým, ktorých miluje.
