The young Sheridan Bromleigh spent most of her life wandering here and there with her unconventional father and their bohemian friends in America. Recently, she was forced to change her life and stay under the strict supervision of her aunt, who taught her to behave -almost- like a lady and helped her become a teacher.
When she was offered to accompany a spoiled heiress who would travel to England to meet her aristocratic future husband, Sheridan was thrilled, as she would be able to visit her family's country. Even more, she was excited because she would embark on such a long and adventurous journey.

Of course, fate has other plans and everything will go wrong. First of all, the spoiled and foolish Miss Harris Lancaster will elope with a stranger before she even gets to meet her fiancé. And Sheridan will have to reach their destination alone and formally announce to Lord Barleton that -unfortunately- during the journey, she managed to lose his future wife. However, before she can do that, she will be formally announced another shocking news that will turn everything upside down...
