1926: Disabled war veteran Harry Pearson needs a loan to start his business. Businessman William Chilvers will lend him the money, but only if he can make William's career-minded daughter lose her aversion to marriage before her 21st birthday, in six weeks. Against his better judgement, Harry agrees. Regina "Reggie" Chilvers is determined: on her birthday, she will leave home, and become independent. The last thing she wants is a husband, even if Harry is charming, attentive and sympathetic to her views. Will he win her heart before his deadline? And how will she feel if she learns about his deal with her father?
