Amy’s scheme is complicated when she encounters Harry Crisp, a handsome and charming fellow of the county, yet lacking the fortune she requires. Though she initially rejects him, a single fleeting kiss sparks doubt. With the support of well-meaning friends, Amy faces a second chance—one that may offer a fortune far beyond her expectations.
