Lovely Katherine Penn longs to have her play performed, a near impossibility in the stuffy environs of Cambridge. Playwrights are considered rogues, but she's quite proper ... isn't she? Her talented group of actors welcomes the patronage of Philip, Lord Ramsey, yet unaccustomed feelings stir within Katherine when near this handsome gentleman. He confuses her and makes her yearn for the unknown. Viscount Ramsey offers his own theatre for the theatrical group's practice, a means of having the enchanting Katherine nearby. He assists with her play's production during Sturbridge Fair to keep an eye on her. But danger suddenly haunts her every step: Katherine's life is in jeopardy. Philip does all he can to protect her. But can he save her for himself?
