Hilda is intelligent, independent, and fiercely independent, and Sir Richard finds himself drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. As he struggles with his feelings for Hilda, Sir Richard must also navigate the complex social and political landscape of turn-of-the-century Britain, where his position and reputation are constantly under threat.
