The Duke of Melcombe, handsome, wicked and known as the 'Knave of Hearts', finds that his ward, whose very existence he had forgotten, has been left a vast fortune.
The interference and criticism of his relatives, the suspicion he entertains of the intentions of the rightful heir, drive him from London to make the acquaintance of Ravella Shane. He saves her from abduction and finds himself the embarrassed and surprised recipient of both her gratitude and her adoration.
How Ravella, completely innocent and unsophisticated, encounters the curiosity of Society, the enmity of the Duke's mistress and the machinations of fortune-seekers, rogues and vagabonds, is told in this exciting, breathtaking romance set against the splendour and brilliance of the Court of George IV.
