A lady in possession of an independent fortune has no need
for a husband. Miss Julia Swifton, secure in that belief,
has made no attempt to search for one, even after three
seasons in London. That is until her grandmother, an
advocate of women's rights, rises from her deathbed and
threatens, of all things, to marry her to a notorious
rake, Lord Thorwynn. Shocked into action, Julia launches
into a search for an intelligent, scholarly husband who
will suit her. On her way she has to rescue a
fallen "angel," save a rake from being forced into
marriage, defeat an unscrupulous gamesmaster who needs to
seduce her for money, and avert a friend's disastrous
runaway marriage. Fortunately, she does not have to do it
alone. Even if her companion, Lord Thorwynn, is the last
person she would ever want to marry.
