England, 1879. Charming Annabelle Archer lives in her cousin's house as a servant and no longer believes in a bright future. Her life changes forever when a college for women opens in Oxford. New friends initiate Annabelle into the suffragette movement, and now she is in a hurry to hand over an information leaflet to a stranger. The arrogant Duke of Montgomery is on the other side of the barricades, but after a chance meeting he cannot stop thinking about Annabelle's sweet face. Alas, the Duke's high position does not allow him to marry a commoner, no matter how much he desires to possess a beautiful lady. Are there too many obstacles? paths to happiness? Or does love know no barriers? It's up to Annabelle and the Duke to check.
