She will not marry that penniless mushroom! Or any other man, for that matter!

Lady Elizabeth Keaton intends to avoid a horrible match by convincing her odious cousin, Julian, that she is a poor choice. To do that, she must simply behave like a typical Keaton—outrageously.

But Betsy's mischevious antics and the spark in her violet eyes convinces the Duke of Braxton, Charles Earnshaw, that she has her mind set on his own dear brother, Teddy. For his part, clever Teddy realizes immediately that Betsy, with her keen wit and resolve, is equal to Charles at his most formidable.

That is, if they can stop bickering long enought to fall in love.
