But the Curran sisters' cousin, Jocelyn Whitford, wants to enlist Andreas in her plot to ruin Bianca for her former fiancé, Alistair Hebblethwaite, who has named himself as a potential suitor to Bianca. But Andreas, decides, on his own, to pursue Katherine, despite difficulties-including another potential suitor for Katherine, her friends, and the fact that Katherine has decided she wants nothing to do with him-and he goes to great lengths to get Katherine to change her mind about him. But things get complicated when someone falls ill, someone else dies, a train explodes, and a convicted killer escapes from prison...
