Synopsis
Julia Thistlewaite está hecha una furia. Ella esperaba casarse con el honorable Mr. Malcolm, pero el aristócrata considera que la joven no está a la altura de llevar su apellido. ¿Y por qué? Porque Mr. Malcolm sabe perfectamente las cualidades que busca en su futura esposa y Julia está muy lejos de cumplir con su lista.
Aunque a Mr. Malcolm sus exigencias le parecen razonables, Julia piensa que el joven es un esnob y merece un escarmiento. Decidida a vengarse de él, Julia acude a la gentil Selina, quien tendrá que interpretar el papel de la dama ideal y cumplir todos los requisitos del joven. Y cuando este caiga rendido a los pies de la bella Selina, ésta deberá rechazarlo, arguyendo que, según su propia lista de requisitos, Mr. Malcolm no es digno de ser su marido pero nuestros protagonistas no cuentan con que el destino siempre tiene otros planes.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that an arrogant bachelor insistent on a wife who meets the strictest of requirements—deserves his comeuppance.
The Honourable Mr. Jeremy Malcolm is searching for a wife, but not just any wife. As the target of matchmaking mothers and desperate debutantes, he's determined to avoid the fortune hunters and find a near-perfect woman, one who will meet the qualifications on his well-crafted list. But after years of searching, he's beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon. Until Selina Dalton arrives in town.
Selina, a vicar's daughter of limited means and a stranger to high society, is thrilled when her friend Julia Thistlewaite invites her to London, until she learns it's all part of a plot to exact revenge on Mr. Malcolm. Selina is reluctant to participate in Julia's scheme, especially after meeting the irresistible Mr. Malcolm, who appears to be very different from the arrogant scoundrel of Julia's description.
But when Mr. Malcolm begins judging Selina against his unattainable standards, Selina decides that she has some qualifications of her own. And if he is to meet them he must reveal the real man behind...Mr. Malcolm's List.
