Fanny Templeton, a young widow, is anxious about her stepdaughter's marriage to penniless Freddie March. She travels with her employer, Lady Mapleforth, to a chateau near Nice, just as Napoleon escapes from Elba. Fleeing to Brussels, Fanny meets up again with Lord Ordley, March’s elder brother. His previous hostility dissipates and they fall in love. At the Duchess of Richmond's ball he gives Fanny a ring. The allies win at Waterloo, but Ordley is wounded. He is nursed back to health by Fanny before the pair return to England via Brussels. It is then that Fanny begins to wonder if she has made a terrible mistake . . . .

During her lifetime, she wrote more than 120 books under Susan Barrie, Rose Burghley, Marguerite Bell and others. Her works included White Heat, The Devil's Daughter, The Sweet Surrender, and the memoir Starlight. She died on December 3, 2013 at the age of 105.
