Tom and Felicity had been in love before she was forced to marry her late husband. But Tom does not fit Felicity's new plans. Tom is a country farmer, not titled and with little interest in London society. However, Tom agrees to pretend to be a devoted suitor in order to make Lord Edmond believe that he has competition. But Tom's attentions start to awaken old feelings in Felicity. She has to wonder if she really wants a husband with a title and to spend the rest of her days as part of London society.
