Abigail Backworth Maldon, the widow of a drunken husband killed while climbing out another woman's window, is in no hurry to remarry. Determined to salvage the family fortune, she tries to pair her niece with a suitable, wealthy husband. With his title and charm, Kipp Rutland seems a perfect choice. But to her great distress, Abby finds she can't stop thinking of him.
