Lady Emily Turner has been a debutante for six seasons now and should have long settled into a suitable marriage. However, due to her fathers large debts, her only suitor is the persistent and odious owner of her fathers favorite gambling house. Meanwhile, Lord Julian Belfry, the second son of a marquess, has scandalized society as an actor and owner of a theater -- the kind of establishment where men take their mistresses, but not their wives. When their lives intersect at a house party, Lord Julian hatches a plan to benefit them both.
