Catheryn, Cat, married Lord Brockton after being governess to his 2 young daughters. Soon after he becomes ill and begins to worry about his daughters falling under the control of his heir, a thorough scoundrel. He convinces Cat to go to a house party and seduce his cousin, Stephen, hoping to get her pregnant and produce a son and heir. Stephen goes off to war and Cat home to bear a son. The story continues 5 years later when Stephen returns. The story progresses along pretty predictable lines. Good story but nothing unique about it.”
