Trying to escape the shambles her con-man father has made of their reputation, Lucinda Curtis arrives in West Point, New York, determined to land a husband from the military academy. Campbell Conklin is first in his class and preparing to embark upon a storied career in the US Army. Lucinda thinks Campbell will make the perfect husband...as long as he does not find out about her father.
Seth Westcott also has taken a liking to Lucinda. He's kind, smart...and working extremely hard to graduate last. Tradition states that the worst cadets are assigned to the cavalry out west. And west is where Seth must head to track the swindler who stole all of his mother's money. Seth is smart enough to vie for the top spot, but life isn't fair, and this is his chance to catch the man who ruined his family. It's too bad Campbell is all shine and no substance, but Lucinda will surely see through all of that, won't she?
