Though incredibly beautiful, Miss Camilla Morgan counts herself cursed. She is cursed with horrible luck with men. There are plenty of them, always asking for her hand in marriage, but they are always the desperate, old, or ill type. She has no prospects she is interested in, but she is getting too old to not be married. Besides, she does not receive her large inheritance until the moment she says I do. So, she is thrilled when a man comes to town looking for redemption and a bride. What she doesn’t know is that her bad luck is coming into play again because this man is not who he says he is. Will she be able to find a man to marry and fall in love with, or will she be cursed to be a lonely spinster?
