Minerva believes that the most desperate rake of London society, Giles Masters, will suit the role of the groom. And if the “chosen one” does not suit the relatives, let them cancel the ultimatum. Giles willingly agrees to play along with Minerva - it costs him nothing! Moreover, he has long been in love with the “bride” and dreams of capturing her heart.
