Regency romance, where Jack Lester decides he now needs to marry and decides on Sophie, without meeting her. He then pursues Sophie without letting on about his recent fortune. They both fall in love but Sophie believes she cannot marry him because he needs funds for his estate and she has some. That's about it. 

It wasn't badly written but not a lot happened. The plot and conflict felt a little unnecessary and falls under my least favourite trope of miscommunication...or lack of communication.
