Frail since childhood, Eloise gave up on the capital's high society to live in the rural village of Feltham for the sake of her health. She spends her happy days visiting Blissbury Mansion, a residence her father's friend entrusted him to look after.

One day, she receives news that a new steward is coming to the mansion. This throws her into a major crisis, as the secret nude paintings of her ultimate favorite, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Wilgrave, which she has been creating there, are in danger of being discovered.

As Eloise tries to retrieve her paintings just before the new steward arrives, she runs right into him on the staircase...!

"You've never seen the model in person, have you, Miss Eloise.
He's not this small."

After that day, Eloise and the other Ryan—a man with the same name whom she never expected to meet—find themselves continually entangled, and eventually, they begin to fall for one another...!
