Eloise Pierce is the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Piningdale. She has had a secret crush on the handsome Marquess of Corenwood for the last two years and is completely smitten when the marquess starts paying her attention. Eloise couldn’t have hoped for a better match as her father will be extremely proud of a marriage to a future duke. But everything changes when Eloise has an encounter with Rollo whom she hasn’t seen in many years.

Rollo Spencer, the Earl of Sunnington, has struggled to come to terms with his father’s sudden death three years ago. He made a promise to his late father that he’d marry for love. Rollo has devoted the last several years to overseeing his late father’s business. He meets up with his old friend William and is invited to attend a house party hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Piningdale. Rollo is instantly drawn to Eloise who is no longer the tomboyish young girl he remembers from childhood. Rollo can’t fathom why Eloise is so hostile towards him at first. Meanwhile, Eloise is feeling conflicted whether Oliver is the right gentleman she should be marrying after Rollo pays more attention to her. But can Eloise forgive Rollo for an incident that happened six years ago? Will a big misunderstanding tear Eloise and Rollo apart or bring them together?
