Alec was everything that occupied Eliza's mind from childhood to adolescence. She and her best friend, Alec's brother Damien, had spent many afternoons fantasizing about being siblings in law. That is, until he married another woman.

Unable to bear the heartache and left with little to no good choices, she accepts Damien's proposal - friendship and the protection of his family name for her keeping his secret.

All went well until Damien was murdered, or at least that's what Eliza believes. Now she finds herself alone, with no prospects or a way to protect herself and no idea who did it.

Alec, heartbroken from his beloved wife's passing away from illness, can't bear the idea of Eliza being alone. Bound by duty, he honors his responsibility towards his brother and offer's Eliza to take care of her the only way he knows how - by offering her a marriage of convenience.

Who killed Damien? Will Eliza be able to protect his secrets? 
And is this the beginning of a great love story, or more heartbreak?
