Oak Dorning is an artist determined to take his place among London's most successful portraitists. Town life is expensive, though, so a temporary post restoring a few old paintings for a ruralizing widow strikes Oak as a prudent detour on the way to his brilliant future.

When somebody sets out to ruin Verity, Oak must choose between his cherished ambitions and the lady who fills his dreams.
