After he dies, Minerva finds records that her deceased husband had fathered several boys. He had to pay for the children's' keep because he had lied and tricked the women into false marriages.

So, she hires an investigator, who is the second son of a duke. They scurry around trying to find the boys, to offer them a better life. Neither Minerva or Lord Lowell are interested in marriage. However, while they are looking for the 12 boys, they become interested in each other. This is a gentle comedy about two people finding love and several children to raise.
