When Lady Flora's twin daughters, Clio and Calliope, declare they will marry only twins, she is at a loss on how to proceed. However, her son, James, knows of a pair of young men living in a crumbling castle by the sea. Besotted by the gothic novels they have been reading, the girls could not be happier. An invitation to Castle Blackwater is soon forthcoming. It has everything they desire: hidden passages, an evil lord, and handsome heroes. But, who will marry the heir and which must settle for the spare is entirely another matter.
Joshua, the second son of the Duke of Bellevue, reneges on a promise to marry Kate Morely because of an incident that occurred when she was twelve. Instead, he intends to pursue the rich and beautiful prize of the Season, Lady Camilla. Kate takes up the challenge and intends to attract Harold Brumley, heir to a duke. Unfortunately, he is addicted to taking snuff. She must convince him she loves the habit to gain his attention. When Joshua starts to look her way again, Camilla plots to remove Kate from the competition which may prove fatal.
