Pag-ibig.
Karaniwang hinahanap nang karamihan sa mundong ating ginagalawan. Napakahiwaga nito,mapanakit,mapanlinlang yet, marami paring umaasa na someday,someone will love their imperfections,embrace who they are and will put a lot of effort para mapasaya ang partner nila.
Nagmahal ka na ba sa murang edad? Marami bang tumutol sapagkat ang katwiran nang karamihan ay "Bata ka pa,it's just an infatuation. Hindi ka nagmamahal, Mahal mo lang siya because you're longing for love,to be loved by others na pakiramdam mo ay hindi ma-ibigay sayo ng sarili mong pamilya. Magkakaroon lamang kayo ng kasalanan sa isa't-isa."
Paano mo nga ba masasabi or nasabing nagmahal at magmamahal ka? Sa kilig ba? Sa mga time na inilalaan niya para saiyo? O alam mong magmahal ka dahil sa sakit na ipinadama niya? Well, sabi nga nila, Hindi ka tunay na nagmahal kung hindi niyo naranasan ang pasakit nang pag-ibig.
Paano kung natagpuan mo nga siya, Handa ka bang sumugal? Handa ka bang bitawan ang puso mo at ibigay sakaniya ng buong-buo kahit na alam mong balang-araw iiwan mo siya at pareho kayong magdurusa dahil pinagtagpo kayo ng mapaglarong pag-ibig sa magka-ibang mundo, oras at panahon.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
