Sally Duncan is beautiful, intelligent, and as rich as a baron-a rich baron, not a cash-strapped one like Lord Farnsworth. She's the solution to every one of his financial problems and is bewitching to boot. All he needs to do is sell her his beloved manor and then charm her to the altar, and the manor will be his again. Simple, right? But nothing is simple when Sally starts tearing apart his ancestral home and renovating it in a way no one would consider tasteful. She is wreaking havoc on everything, but he cannot give up on owning his mother's estate again, nor can he imagine anyone but Sally as his wife. And so he sticks with his plan. What a horrible mistake.
