Mr. Edwin Hetherington needs a fiancée he will never have to marry. Years ago, his family lost everything to an unscrupulous landlord. Now, the Irishman offers to reinstate Edwin's title so long as he weds Miss Jera Camden. As far as Jera is concerned, so long as she manages to avoid an unwanted Scottish-born suitor of her mother's choosing, the bluestocking is happy to play the part of Edwin's blushing bride-to-be. Can Edwin and Jera dupe the crafty landlord into making good on his promise before the wedding date arrives…or will their best-laid plans result in disaster?
