Damion Templeton, Viscount Woodhurst, has fourteen days to find a fiancée. It's the least he can do to make his dying grandmother happy. Of course, she needn't know it's a temporary ruse. An actress should do nicely. But then Miss Alix Adams tumbles off the wall of the local school while rescuing her young student from a tree. Damion rides by, and the curtain of fate rises on a new stage plan.
