Doomed to live the life of an old maid, Rosalind Winslow spends her days managing her late father's estate. If the house belongs to Rosalind, then the land on which it stands is lost by her unlucky brother at cards. Much to her chagrin, the girl is forced to share her property with Beau Remington, a charming but uncouth bear devoid of social polish. Both want to own the property, but the brute stubbornly refuses to leave, and an arranged marriage seems the only way out. Rosalind is not going to give in to her sweet but uninvited guest, and her treacherous heart makes her give him much more.
