William Dunford inherits a Barony from a distant cousin, Lord Stannage. Along with the inheritance Dunford learns that he has also inherited Stannage's ward, Henrietta Barrett, affectionately known as "Henry". Henry, who has run the estate since the death of Stannage's wife years before, is an out and out tomboy, wearing men's clothing.
Dunford and Henry feel a desire for each other, though both are afraid to let each other know. Dunford decides to take Henry to London to find a husband, even though Henry is terrified because she has no idea how to act as a lady. Henry is taken to Dunford's friend, Belle, and she turns Henry into a ravishing debutante, and Dunford becomes angered and jealous as Henry turns into the season's "incomparable". The path of love for the two littered with jealousy and misunderstandings. | ||
