Casey's mother's dying wish was to deliver a letter to an English lord who Casey knows nothing about. While fulfilling her duty, Casey meets the Lord's son, who immediately falls for the American visitor.

When Casey Cantrell's mother died, her last wish was that her daughter would give a letter to Lord Richard Bredon, living in the UK. When Casey arrives in London, Lord Bredon denies ever having known her mother. Casey meets Lord Bredon's son Michael and they fall in love. When Lord Bredon finds out about this new relationship he furiously assumes that Casey wants to blackmail his family and starts to investigate her background. The plot heightens dramatically when it appears that an event from the past might part the lovers.—Oliver Heidelbach
