The Duke of Oswestry is being blackmailed into marriage by his former mistress, who finds herself pregnant (with another man's child). To foil her schemes and make it plain he doesn't intend to marry her, he begins a "pretend" betrothal to the young country girl he rescued from "a fate worse than death" in one of London's brothels. What happens next, you can read for yourself . . . .
