Daphne, on the other hand, is eager to find a husband, but her lack of connections and dowry make it difficult for her to attract suitors. When the two of them strike a deal to feign a courtship in order to improve Daphne's chances on the marriage market and deflect Simon's unwanted attention, they soon find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never expected.
