When Lord Weston catches Rosalyn sneaking about the castle library, she fears she’ll be punished for breaking the rules. But the master of the castle admires her desire to learn and orders her to meet with him each night for a private tutoring session. She gladly obeys and excels under his guidance, and his desire to teach her more than how to read soon becomes apparent. During a banquet several weeks later, Lord Weston is stunned when his prized pupil insults the visiting king. He orders Rosalyn to wait for him in the library, intending to mete out her punishment himself. As he prepares to redden her bare bottom, he realizes his interest in her has surpassed that of lord and servant, or teacher and pupil. Lord Weston yearns to claim Rosalyn long and hard, then carry her to his chambers and hold her close all night. But can a lowborn servant girl have a future with the lord of a castle?
