Poor Minerva. Prudish self-righteous and incredibly beautiful she is to be sent to London to capture a wealthy husband. But Minerva doesnt know the first thing about flirting. The London dandies find her moralizing appalling and concoct a plan to assault her virtue--an assault that will scandalize all London society. Meanwhile. Lord Sylvester Comfrey whom she met earlier through her father has been keeping a careful eye on the girl. A fact which she resents. She dislikes Lord Sylvester. There is something about him that disturbs her. Now the plan to destroy Minervas reputation begins to unfold. And Minerva stumbles headlong into the trap. But the plotters have reckoned without Lord Sylvester.
