At the Duke of Frampton's annual masquerade ball, Sarah Curtis is excited by the prospect of finding romance. Her father believes that the duke will propose to Sarah's older sister, Catherine before the end of the season. The hopes of the family are threatened when Sarah fails to recognize the duke in his disguise, and thus reveals more about her sister’s character than is acceptable. Meanwhile, John Martin, Sarah’s friend from childhood, finds his fondness for Sarah increasing. Sarah is becoming aware of this change in their relationship but finds herself unable to return his affections. Nevertheless, once her parents discover his intentions they begin to put more pressure on Sarah to consider Mr. Martin as a potential husband. However, Sarah has a secret of her own…she has been having clandestine liaisons with a masked admirer who, despite his disguise, stirs up deep desires within her very soul. As the duke’s regard for Catherine diminishes, Sarah makes a desperate attempt to put things right but Catherine is the mistress of her own destruction…
