The story begins when Rose comes back from a long trip to Europe. When she arrives home, she lines up her eight cousins to take a long look at them. The youngest accidentally mentions that the aunts want Rose to marry one of her cousins.

Rose has her "coming out" into society, much to her Uncle Alec's chagrin. She promises to try high society for only three months and keeps her promise. During those three months, her cousin Charlie falls in love with her and tries in various ways to woo her.

But Charlie has an attitude that Rose doesn't feel comfortable with. She tries to help Charlie overcome his bad habits with the help of her uncle, but fails. Charlie does all he can to win her heart but without success. Charlie's life ends tragically in an accident and Rose moves on.

A few months after Charlie's death Rose finds out that her other cousin, Mac is also in love with her. At first she refuses his love but in time she finally realises that Mac is the right person for her.
