Margaret, a neglected daughter of the Wordsworth Count family, is forced to take her sister's place as a bride for Percival, the heir of the Stroud Marquisate.

Expecting cold treatment, Margaret prepares to endure her marriage, but she is met with unexpected kindness and affection from Percival. This is a romantic comedy about a countess with a defeatist attitude and a young marquis who sees through her deception.
