Adam Canning has been brought in from a neighboring country to serve as a bodyguard for the illustrious Lord Montague. Adam is a playboy who likes to spend more time in bed with his various lovers than he does doing his job. He doesn't intend to change his ways, especially when he happens to run into Lord Montague's nephew at a party. But unlike everyone else Adam tries to woo, the nephew, Joel Littler, is wholly uninterested. This does nothing to dissuade Adam, and, if anything, it only spurs him on. Joel is not at this party to party. He is trying to find evidence of corruption, embezzlement, and the like, which makes sense given his uncle's oversight of the law and justice in the country. Adam usually wouldn't care to help, but he sees this as a perfect way to get closer to Joel and jumps at the opportunity. It's over the course of their time working together that Adam soon learns that Joel Littler is actually Joel Montague. Due to a multitude of death threats and a dark past, Joel is compelled to take on two identities: the old, white-haired Lord Montague and the young nephew Joel Littler. Again, Adam is usually not prone to working, and if he does, it's not very hard. But Joel has piqued his interest. Perhaps the lord is worth the effort.
