At a party, Nash is reunited with his childhood friend Ana Maria. Ana Maria is a duchess who is treated like a maid by her mean stepmother, but when her stepmother and father die in an accident, Ana Maria is suddenly forced to look for a bridegroom as her own daughter. In addition, the generous dowry the new duke has offered her puts her in a position to be targeted by unsavory men. Nash rescues her from a villain and decides to teach her self-defense.
