She has always put up with her father's brutality, shielding the household staff from it, until she's told that she is to marry - within three days no less - a crude and criminal, but wealthy slaver, Capt. Ruthbane.  That's the last straw for Gina.  So underfed and under-clothed (her father ordered the servants to take her clothing) the young woman runs away to seek work with a loving family.  In the meantime, an arrogant hater of women especially when they seek to entrap him into marriage, Lord Stephen Delatorr, has landed in a pickle.  He has been drugged (by a woman), and behaving erratically as a result:  he has left the field of a duel (unheard of) after wounding his friend and caught a fever from riding for long hours in the rain and cold. He's been beaten by the Squire and the Capt. who are out looking for Gina and winds up in a caravan on whose ceiling is the picture of a unicorn.  Gina also comes upon the sick man, tends him, and searches for a doctor.  Still out of his mind, silly Stephen sends her on her way.  It takes a lot of reading until Lord Delatorr understands what has happened to him and that he owes his life (and his heart) to sweet Georgina Cayley.  Some unicorn!
