Warwickshire, England, 1810. After the heartbreak and humiliation of a broken engagement, Margaret Brinton is determined to never allow her heart to be hurt again. When Lord Williams shows interest in her at a dinner party, Margaret is wary. She knows he would be a catch for any woman, but when he walks out of her piano performance, Margaret is resentful. With Lord Williams gone, Mr. Northam moves in and practically proposes. Margaret knows that the dashing Northam is Lord Williams's cousin and also a known rake. Still, a marriage of convenience to Northam would allow her to keep her father's fortune without the risk of heartbreak. When Margaret returns home, she learns that her father has arranged a marriage to Lord Williams instead. Margaret is set to end the engagement, but when Lord Williams arrives at her father's estate for an extended visit, he wins the good opinion of her siblings. Margaret wishes she could reach out to Mr. Northam so he could rescue her from marrying his cousin. However, when Margaret learns from Northam that he and Lord Williams are competing to see who Margaret will kiss first, she wants nothing to do with either of them. When Margaret's beloved younger sister falls ill, and Margaret and her father are forced to spend time with Lord Williams at his own estate, she realizes he is exactly the man she's wished for, if only she hadn't already rejected him.
