World-renowned chef Thorn Calderon is already prepared to be single for the rest of his life. But plans change when his parents set him up through an arranged marriage with Cassia Wisper...the girl who believes he's gay. ****** Thorn Calderon believes that he would never find the right woman for him...not until his parents suddenly tell him to tie the knot with someone he doesn't know. At his age, he just doesn't care anymore. As long as the marriage doesn't interfere with him and his restaurant - the love of his life - then he wouldn't mind obeying them. But just when he's intent to live by the motto 'Happy wife means happy life', sweet and innocent Cassia Wisper drops a ludicrous bomb that renders him speechless.

"Do you know what's your problem, Pete? You think you're the best thing since instant noodles!" "I don't believe this! You're making a big deal out of a one-night stand!" Gilalas si Tammy pagkatapos niyang marinig ang mga katagang iyon mula kay Pete. She was so sure they shared something special last night. It was magical! Pero bale-wala pala iyon sa lalaki at ang nais nito ay kalimutan na lang nila ang lahat. Hindi siya papayag! Tumayo siya nang tuwid at tumingin nang diretso rito. "Last night, I fell in love with you. I know you did, too, and I'm gonna prove it," paniniyak niya.

What else could a princess want from a man? His name? His riches? His fame? None of the above. Dahil ang tanging nais ni Princess Linneah ay ang pag-ibig ni Khalel Peregrine. Subalit hindi naniniwala ang binata sa sinasabi niyang isa siyang kidnap victim na prinsesa mula sa isang maliit na kaharian sa Europa. Ang akala pa nga nito'y baliw siya at balak siyang dalhin sa mental hospital. Sa inis niya dito, pinanindigan na nga niya ang maling akala nito sa kanya.

"Welcome to the beast's lair. Lord Luc Devereux, at your service, my lady", sarkastikong bati ng baritonong boses nito. His long blond hair glittered like gold and reaches past his broad shoulders. His firm lips were set in a grim smile while his aristocratic nose proudly pointed his displeasure and his Arctic blue eyes freezing in their contempt as he surveys her uneasy form. Kung gayon ang lalaking ito ang mismong Master ng Maison de Devereux at ng Devereux Estates. "Sumisigaw ka na sa takot bago mo pa ako nakita so I assume that it wasn't me who caused such horror to you. Did you see another one of the castle's resident ghouls?" "Ghouls? As in synonym ng ghosts? Ibig sabihin talagang may multo dito?!" nanlalaking mga matang bulalas niya. "I don't know. But people from the village are convinced that a beast lives here. Now that you've seen me, you could confirm it to them", he drawled sarcastically with a cruel twisted smile on his lips.
