A lady in exchange for debt. Is there any way out for Lady Christina?
Lady Christina is utterly delighted. Lord Harlow, the gentleman she adores has asked for her hand in marriage, and she is certain her father, the Earl of Enfield, will agree.
However, Christina accidentally overhears a lady and a gentleman speaking with her father, threatening to ruin his family, his reputation and his good name unless he gives them the keys to the Enfield estate. Horrified, Christina runs into the room, only to discover that she herself has become part of the bargain.
Unable to tell her true love her reasons for her sudden betrothal, Christina sinks into despair. Lost and confused, her only hope is that Lord Harlow might find a way to discover the truth, without her having to say a word.
