The heroine, Bryony, has the gift of telepathy, and is able to communicate subliminally with a man she regards as her lover, but whose identity she is unsure of. She knows that he is a blood relative, and assumes him to be one of her three male cousins, twins Emory and James, and the younger Francis. She returns to the UK having received a telepathic message and discovers that her father has died suddenly in a mysterious accident. Her preference is for James, but she gradually realises that the twins are plotting to steal her inheritance, and that her secret lover is someone else.
