Caroline Maxwell has her sights set on adventure, not a husband. But her domineering mother has other plans - a list of "proper" suitors Caroline must choose from. When Caroline falls for her brother's best friend, the dashing, unconventional Jack Culhane, her mother's scheme threatens to derail their forbidden romance. As Caroline risks her family's disapproval to follow her heart, she must outwit her mother's machinations and make a choice that could cost her everything.
