Oliver Russell found himself in a nightmare. Although he inherited the title of earl from his father, he also inherited huge debts. In order to prevent impending bankruptcy, he goes to see a childless and wealthy aunt, whom the family has not been in contact with for many years, and who might be the only one who could help him. Lady Ruthven surprisingly accepts him and promises to take care of everything. Provided she marries…
Clara Digby became infamous as a "runaway bride".

The two have seemingly nothing in common. But only until Oliver hears his aunt's verdict: he will marry Clara Digby.

However, Clara is distrustful of men. And it's up to Oliver to win her heart with his kind and sincere soul. Or will the whole thing go wrong, and Clara will have to throw the third fiance in the trash as well?
