Every noble gentleman must marry sooner or later.

Charles Morwellan, Earl of Meredith, is well aware that he will never find a more suitable bride than Sarah Conningham, the daughter of his neighbors on the estate.

The girl is educated and beautiful, and her dowry will solve all his financial difficulties in the best possible way.

However, Sarah - an independent, capricious person - is ready to accept the count's offer only on one condition: in two weeks he must conquer her heart.

Is this possible?

Charles does not doubt himself. He accepts the bride's terms and prepares for the attack.
