If the heroine, Amelia, seems too good to be true, her husband Captain Booth is all too flawed. He is unfaithful to her while he is in prison, and he gambles away what little they have left and ends up in debtor's prison. Fielding makes life difficult for both of them with a succession of wicked noblemen lusting after Amelia and vengeful ladies lusting after Booth and plotting their downfall.
However, love conquers all: wrongs are righted, villains are punished, Amelia receives her lawful inheritance and they live happily ever after.
