Miss Rowena Whitworth must find a husband because her father has spent the family into dire straits. Unfortunately, her father accepts money from a much older man looking for a broodmare.
When Andrew EltonâBaron Elsbrook -- overhears the arrangement, he is horrified for Rowena.
His mother is nagging him to marry, and she has chosen his mate, a vapid young miss. Instead, he offers Rowena a marriage of convenience because he does not want to have children (his father was a terrible parent who used his children for his aims).
This was a great story until near the end. Suddenly, Rowena's father apologized for trying to sell his daughter and even began to work toward recovering his estate and livelihood. This was so out of character. Later, Andrew's mother did an about-face (she swore she would never accept Rowena as her daughter-in-law). This was more realistic because hostile parents often change their minds after there is news of a baby.
