When a dashing nobleman offers her a ride to the next town in his carriage, she feels obliged to accept. However, the pair suffer an accident and must spend the night together in an abandoned cottage. When they are rescued the following day, he realizes that she has been hopelessly compromised by being alone with him for so long, and decides to do the honorable thing and offer her marriage.

As the couple start to develop warmer feelings for each other though, the secrets in her past become an obstacle to their happiness.
