Amanda Welford loves and respects her father, but dislikes her stepmother, Sylvina. The pair have arranged for Amanda to marry the elderly Mr. Jocelyn Broome and if the marriage is agreed, Mr. Broome will settle all Mr. Welford's gambling debts. But Mr. Broome makes unwelcome advances on the young Amanda's virtue and, when she is told of the marriage settlement, she runs away from her home near Whitby in North Yorkshire. Her flight is aided and abetted by the Hon. Adolphus Bertram Perriott and Mr. Andrew Polkinghorne, or Bertie and Drew as she comes to know them. Bertie's sister, Harriet and Mr. Jocelyn Broom's nephew later join the intrigue and efforts on Amanda's behalf. Their exploits, which involve both misunderstandings and romance, make a lighthearted and entertaining Regency tale.
