After spending three seasons in London searching for a husband, Daisy Bowman heard her father telling her that she must find someone to marry immediately.
And if she can't choose Mr. Right herself, then she will be forced to marry the one he has chosen for her: the ruthless, stern, bad, and cold Matthew Swift.
Daisy panics, but a Bowman never gives up. She decides to do whatever it takes to marry anyone other than Matthew Swift. However, what she doesn't account for is that Matthew, besides being ruthless, stern, bad, and cold, has the power to exert an inexplicable charm over her.
As she gets to know him better, she begins to believe that perhaps all these outward traits are his shield to face the world. And not only that. It is also his defense to protect an unconfessed secret.
