Publisher's Synopsis
Miss Jennie Bemyss was in a position that any intelligent young lady would envy. The wealthy, worldly Marquis of Charrington proposed a marriage of convenience that would leave him free to pursue his pleasures, and leave Jennie free of his undoubtedly depraved desires. At the same time, handsome Guy Chalmers, whom Jennie had loved since childhood, proposed to aid her in enjoying her freedom. Jennie should have felt relief at being left alone at last by a man whom she should despise. She should have felt even happier to be courted by a man whom she adored. Why, then, did she feel so confused?
