"I want to gouge your eyes out for what you saw, you insolent Frenchman!"

"Calm down, you crazy girl, you look like a savage! I'm not going to hurt you, you don't need to run away!"

"If you force me to marry you under these conditions, I will hate you!"

"No problem, my dear! I'll settle for your hate!"

England, London, 1850:

Young Elizabeth Eglington is a beautiful, bankrupt English aristocrat, betrothed to the aging Earl of Ashweel since the age of thirteen in exchange for her late father's gambling debts. So, at the request of her future husband, the young woman lives in reclusion with her mother, a snobbish and bitter widow, some servants and her dog Teddy, in a rural property near London, waiting to complete sixteen years for the marriage to take place.

Eliza, as she is called by those closest to her, abhors this commitment and dreams of living a great love, just like in the romance books she usually reads hidden from her moralistic and bitter mother. However, the young woman cannot see a way out. However, everything changes after the death of the old Earl and the arrival of his nephew, Lord Phillip, heir to the title of nobility and property: The new Earl of Ashwell. From then on, a story of love, passion, intrigue, envy will emerge around a marriage carried out to take revenge for a possible dishonor and humiliation.
