The Dowager Countess of Stratton, Clarissa Ware, has just presented her younger daughter to the ton, and the rest of her life belongs only to herself. She returns to Ravenswood, intending to spend the summer alone there. Born a gentleman, Matthew Taylor has chosen to spend his life as the village carpenter. As a young man, he never would have been a suitable match for Clarissa, so Clarissa married Caleb Ware, the Earl of Stratton, and Matthew married another, though he was widowed soon after. As their summer friendship deepens into romance, they stand together on the precipice of change.
