Lady Edwina wants nothing to do with the man her mama has said she must marry. She has ideas of her own, she doesn’t want to marry the local squire her mama has selected. She wants to travel, to have adventures, and to live life. Her cousin Theodosia has the same problem – her mama has selected an intended fiancé Theodosia dislikes. Theodosia doesn’t want to marry the man. What are the two cousins to do?
Lady Edwina’s papa, Sir Henry, also wants his daughter to get married, but he wants her to marry a more suitable man. The two ladies are packed off to London for a season. They can’t say no. They must go. The ladies go to London and find more than they expected.
