By 1882 Summerfield Manor needs money, and American heiress Genevieve Farrow arrives to marry Morgan Weston, the future earl. The arrangement promises to preserve the estate, but Genevieve must confront a controlling mother, an uncertain bridegroom and a household that regards her fortune as more secure than her place within the family.

Around the proposed marriage, other women face choices involving education, work and relationships that cross social boundaries. The novel examines the transatlantic marriage market without reducing Genevieve to a financial rescue. Her growth in confidence, and the community’s need for honesty and grace, turn an economic bargain into a wider test of love, responsibility and faith.
