She’s decided that she’ll never marry.
But she can’t stop thinking about him.
And she’s already engaged to someone else…

He needs a wife: someone who’s gentle and kind…
After making his fortune in India, Lord Devernwood returns to England to marry.

Henry becomes Devernwood’s friend, and creates a list of conventional women. All he has to do is choose one, and propose to her.
What could possibly go wrong?
