Destiny, christened by her dying mother, grows up in a poor parsonage as a lone orphan. At fifteen she learns she is the daughter of Lord Claud, the Earl of Destermere, and on his deathbed in Switzerland she is named his sole heir to the largest fortune in Queen Anne’s empire. Stephen Godwin, the Earl’s secretary, brings her to Bath and then to Richmond, where she is thrust into a whirl of high society. Her new stepmother, Lady Mahla Destermere, resents her arrival and plots to marry Destiny to her half‑brother, the cruel Baron Humbert Faramund, who seeks control of the fortune. Destiny is suddenly exposed to opulent surroundings and manipulations, including the lustful advances of a Russian prince. She must decide whether to embrace love or protect her status while confronting threats to her wealth, title, and cherished relationship with Stephen.
