The former master of Cliff House, Sir Richard Raine returns from the dead, forcing Jenny to choose between Jackson Zephyr and her husband. Richard claims his near death experience changed him and indeed his remorse for his past abuse seems genuine. Jenny Raine is desperate to find happiness at Cliff House and agrees to help her husband confiscate Jackson’s treasure.

Jackson is not convinced his cousin is a changed man. He accepts the loss of his father’s gold without a fight, but he is less accepting of the loss of Jenny Raine. When Jackson is invited to Cliff House as the guest of Sir Richard and Lady Raine, he seizes the opportunity to steal back the gold when a mysterious locked room in the attic exposes a sinister secret. Before Jackson can act, tragedy strikes, separating the thief from the young bookish woman he realizes he has fallen in love with.
