Lizzie is the sixth and youngest daughter of the late Sir Beverley, the patriarch who gambled away their beloved estate, Mannerling. Each of Lizzie's sisters had been entrusted by their mother to cast lures for the various owners of their former home. Instead, each one married for love. Now it's Lizzie's turn to save Mannerling. Yet the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy chit, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing. Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's own thoughts to the wonders of falling in love!
