Victoria Seaton suddenly becomes an orphan, with no one in the world. After the death of her parents, she travels to the other side of the ocean to claim her inheritance at Wakefield, a luxurious English estate of a distant cousin, the notorious Lord Jason Fielding.

On one hand, she stands numb in the face of his arrogance, and on the other, she sees the painful memories smoldering in his eyes.

Jason is an extremely wealthy and destructive man. Life has taught him to doubt others and their motives, and not to believe in love. He tried to deny what he saw in Victoria. Her charm, her kindness, her mind.

Under strange circumstances, their marriage is almost inevitable. Joy seems to have taken the place of the pain caused by the past. But one moment is enough to change everything, the moment Victoria discovers the betrayal of their love. A love she thought would be eternal.
