  Sophie Garnet is overjoyed when she inherits her adored uncle's library. But where can she possibly store the books when she has lost her home? Determined to find a home for the books, Sophie packs them up and, in doing so, she discovers a small fortune in bills tucked between the many pages of the books! Suddenly, she is a lady of considerable means and with the help of Lady Mary Croscombe, Sophie intends to take London by storm. Meanwhile, Sophie's cousin Jason has long admired her and now that she is of a marriageable age he hopes to ask for her hand. But he must now compete with a swarm of other suitors, some of whom are seeking money rather than love. Will Sophie choose the right path? And will Jason make his intentions clear in time?
