Before her death aboard the Doxie Queen bound for San Francisco, widowed Lady Margaret Castleton insists that her maid Kristen Brent assume her identity and move forward with the arranged marriage to Lord Edward Rossmore, a man neither has ever seen.
Kristen soon finds out that trying to support one lie after another is cumbersome and nearly impossible especially when she has to rid herself of a particular difficulty in order that she go through with her impending nuptials.
Lord Rossmore is away when she arrives in America, but she knows that he will be expecting a widow and not virgin bride.
She must hurry and find someone-anyone, who will relieve her of her virginity and give her A Lesson in Love.
