The enthralling Cecilia Beaumont was always one to follow the rules, but when the rules betray her, she is forced to make her own risky ones. Growing up, her dream was to marry the man she loved most, but fate had other plans for her. With a despicable man persisting to marry her against her will, Cecilia is forced to forge a new identity, in another town. However, things get more complicated when she begins to fall for Benedict Ayles, the alluring Duke she works for. Can she keep her identity a secret and remain humble as her position demands or will her heart overpower her logic and surrender to the most tantalising affair of all?

However, his efforts to stay away from further fiery romances will end in vain when he meets the new seductive maid, who will awaken his lustful instincts.

Yet, the secrets between them, along with the dictating social norms, are drifting them apart. Nevertheless, the more they try to fight temptation, the more they fall into all kinds of forbidden pleasure. The potential exposure of their scandalous affair though, could lead to Cecilia losing everything and Benedict ruining his family reputation forever.
