A wallflower and an elegant gentleman...

Gauche Hazel Springfeld is reconciled to being left on the shelf. At a society ball, she is improbably asked to dance by charismatic Mr Lucas Darkwood. When she discovers it was all for a wager — he’ll win a prize if he can turn her into marriage material — Hazel plans to get her own back! She’ll frighten Lucas into thinking she really does expect that proposal — from him!
