Antony Bennet is honest, honourable and handsome. Every girl's dream. The perfect gentleman no one could help but fall in love with.

However, he is in love with Lady Matilda Bliver, the daughter of the richest merchant in England. She was the one his heart and soul burned for; who gave him sleepless nights; who sent everything looking dull with her radiance. She is also the one who makes his courage dwindle; his tongue tie.

Amelia Advent's sole objective in life is to make her father Nicholas Advent miserable. He must suffer as much as he made her mother suffer.

Her fate disposes of her ambitions as she is forced to marry Antony Bennet. Everyone says he is kind, honest and honourable. But to her, he is arrogant, cruel and an ambitious gold digger. His sharp eyes which miss nothing makes her hot with desire. She knows she can't fall in love with him for he could never love her back. Not when he is still pining for his first love.
