Since Melanie Somers' nasty cousins have stolen her fortune and made her a servant in her own home, she jumps at the chance when Mark Teville, Lord Rhoslynn, happens along and proposes a marriage of convenience to rid them of mutual loneliness and assuage his mad torments. Once at Rhoslynn, on the Welsh border, she finds that Mark, locally known as the Devil Baron, is ostracized by gentry and peasantry alike--partly because he is descended from the Norman conquerors, partly because of a family taint, but mainly because they are sure he killed his onetime girlfriend, Gwenneth, the smith's daughter, whose body has never been found.
