"A Marriageable Miss" by Dorothy Elbery opens up a wide expanse of imagination and character development with an unusual but intriguing plot. Held within the gates of a prestigious British boarding school is an orphan girl named Helena Wheatley. She is pushed to take on the role of independent only after her wealthy father announces his desire that Helena find a nobility that will guarantee her money, status, and love. While her naivety and resilience keep her from becoming a pawn in a forced marriage, her growing distress and reluctance to ask for help informs her to place her hopes on Richard Standish, Earl of Markfield.
Discovering the identity of an unlikely suitor, Helena finds herself under the protection of Sir Richard in which he offers to act as a guardian and escort her throughout The Royal Circle, a bohemian dance hall located in London's most exclusive social gathering space. Unfortunately, given the impending danger about Helena's family, Richard's ability to hold the covert relationship between them away from prying eyes extends to unexpected consequences.
As the story develops through the captivating twists and turns of its elegant design, viewers come to discover a deeply personal understanding of the meaning of love and the blurred lines of morals.
