After years of working in a millinery shop, Miss Harriet
Peabody dreams of the day when she'll open up her own shop
and sell re-fashioned gowns to independent working women
like herself. When a delivery errand goes sadly awry, her
job--and her chance at saving enough for her shop--is at
stake all due to a rather unfortunate misunderstanding with
a customer.
Mr. Oliver Addleshaw enjoys a certain position in society,
but his real aim is to follow in the footsteps of men like
Cornelius Vanderbilt. On the verge of his biggest business
deal yet, he learns his potential partner prefers to deal
with men who are settled down and respectably married. As
matters stand, Oliver's ex not-quite-fiance recently became
unhinged and lost a poor shop girl her job. Oliver feels bad
for the hapless Harriet and, hoping to kill two birds with
one stone, asks for her help in making a good impression in
his business deal.
Harriet dives into the circles of high society head first,
only to find that her love of fashion can't make her
fashionable. She'll never truly fit into Oliver's world, but
just as she's ready to call off the fake engagement, fancy
dinners, and elegant balls, a threat from her past forces
both Oliver and Harriet to discover that love can come in
the most surprising packages.
