In an effort to save her home for herself, her widowed sister-in-law and infant nephew, Araminta Barrington sets out to snare a wealthy husband. She catches the eye and attention of Sir Timothy Stanton but without meaning to she also catches the attention of Jasper Devereaux, Marquis of Chestleton, a man with a rakish reputation who had no thoughts of marriage at present. He pursues Araminta, much to her displeasure, or so she tells herself because she is attracted to him even though she knows it could ruin her reputation and chances with Sir Timothy. Matters become worse when Chestleton discovers Araminta's financial status, approaches her about it and basically makes her feel threatened that he will disclose the information. After all, he sees Araminta as a mere female fortune hunter and he intends to seduce her and have her for himself.
