Viscount Shuttleworth, having lost his youthful illusions, intends to take advantage of the famous London season to finally find himself a wife - the complete opposite of the heartless beauty who carelessly rejected him three years ago. And the subject of his previous admiration, Katherine Elstone, also hopes to arrange her personal life this season. However, not wanting to repeat the mistake of her older sister, who fell into the network of an insidious deceiver, she looks for a groom at the greatest marriage auction in England, driven not by feelings, but by common sense. But a couple of unscrupulous adventurers decided to take advantage of the girl’s naivety. And now Catherine can only hope for a man whom she once did not take seriously.
