Decent story but not great. Jane wants to run her father's shipping empire but since she is a woman he sends her away to find a husband in a month when he catches her in a compromising position with her sister's husband. The Earl is a jaded rake who has squandered his money and needs Jane's dowry to re-establish his lifestyle. They decide to marry because it makes sense. Naturally Jane is beloved by the step-daughter and the servants while the Earl hasn't given anyone the time of day. Jane runs off when she thinks she sees him in the arms of his ex-mistress. He comes after her months later and begs her to come back (since she is also going to have a baby.)
