Brash and handsome Sir Justin Keighley is completely wrong for the obedient, lovely Margaret Mayfield. When they are forced to marry after an embarrassing-and misinterpreted-accident, Margaret refuses and runs away. Just as Justin catches up with her, Margaret shoots him. Accidentally, of course. Now, in order to mend the mess she has created, Margaret has to race to find help, maybe tell a few lies, and even play nurse…showing the surprisingly charming Sir Keighley she is far more intrepid and exciting than he ever imagined.
