Once upon a time lived a fair young lady who had everything she wanted. She was loved by all for her beauty. From the moment she was born, her life was planned entirely. Not that it bothered her. She had everything already. Even love. Layla never searched for love as it came by itself under a three-centuries-old oak tree. Benedict and her grew together for each other. She knew is that he'd be hers and she'd be his. It was sealed by her family, the Thornes and his, the Lowells. She knew the happy ending would come. And it came. She was Mrs Lowell, finally. Her story had a happy ending.
A very short happy ending.
Layla abruptly enters widowhood after three-years-long childless marriage with her husband Benedict. To unsure the alliance between the Thornes and the Lowells remains, Layla must marry Basil, Benedict's adopted brother. Despite Basil's eternal and secret love for his sister-in-law, Layla never felt anything else than indifference regarding him.
Until now.
Until the unwanted brother came back, claiming what used to be her husband's. Basil can handle her hatred as long as she doesn't know the truth.
