Cecilia finds herself married to the infamous Lord Cromwell, per an arrangement between the duke and her mother. All the countryside whispers about him since he returned from the war severely disfigured after saving his men. Women, and even men, run from him, except for his uncle, servants, and best friend.

Lonely and depressed after moving into his grand home, Cecilia wishes her husband would let her see him, but that is not to be. He sends her away, vowing it is for the best. But when she hears he is near death due to a fall, nothing will keep her from his side. If he pulls through, will he realize she couldn't care less what he looks like and that she loves him as much as he loves her?
