She falls in love with a charming but unreliable man named Colonel Hargrave, who leads her down a dangerous path of deception and betrayal. Meanwhile, her childhood friend and true love, Mr. Maitland, tries to win her heart and save her from ruin.Self-Control is a compelling story of love, loss, and the struggle for self-mastery.
