Pretty, penniless Thea Brightwell's soul-crushingly dreary existence with her tyrannical aunt is about to explode into delicious chaos -- all thanks to a fateful trip to Bath and one scorching encounter with the absolutely devastating Mr. Grayling!

But just when sparks begin to fly between our star-crossed lovers, Thea's selfish old harridan of an aunt swoops in like a vengeful vulture, determined to crush their budding romance rather than lose her free servant -- er, beloved niece.

Meanwhile, our achingly handsome but tragically broke Mr. Grayling faces a heart-wrenching choice: pursue his penniless angel or hunt down a wealthy heiress to save his family from financial ruin.

Enter the wonderfully dim-witted Cousin Bertram -- a man whose heart is infinitely larger than his brain -- who appoints himself chief matchmaker in this comedy of errors!

In a moment of jaw-droppingly misguided brilliance, Bertram hatches the most preposterous scheme ever conceived: convince the unsuspecting Mr. Grayling that darling Thea is tragically dying and has merely six months to live! Surely any red-blooded gentleman would want to shower a doomed beauty with life's sweetest pleasures before her untimely end?

What could possibly go wrong with such a foolproof plan?

Everything, naturally.

Brace yourself for a side-splitting carnival of comic catastrophes featuring spectacularly bungled matchmaking, love letters gone hilariously astray, inconveniently timed former flames popping up like jack-in-the-boxes, and enough romantic chaos to make your head spin!

Can true love survive the meddling of dragon-like aunts and the "helpful" machinations of a cousin whose brain appears to be stuffed with sawdust?
