Adam Deveril, 6th Viscount Lynton of Fontley Priory, Lincolnshire, is one of the Duke of Wellington's captains. When his father, a crony of the Prince Regent, is killed in the hunting field, Adam returns to England to find his beautiful home in disrepair and his family facing financial ruin.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter.
