Do I love you? Do I hate you?

It's never easy being in a high social standing.

It's never easy being a lord.

Whether that be because of social standards or parental expectations.
For two dashing young lords, these two restrictions are very much the case.

Lord Wylan-Van-Eck, born of constriction and control, known as the son of the ruthless Jan-van-Eck, now finds the freedom his clings to in futility ripped away from him as his fathers anger over no marriage or heir boils to the surface.

Lord Jesper Fahey, born of privilege and freedom, scandalised womaniser and flirt, finds his freedom he cherishes now pushed aside as problems with his dear mother arise. In order to ensure her happiness and in a way, his own future too, Jesper begins to scour each ball of the new season to find his match.

But these plans unfortunately prove quite difficult when the two cross paths.
And so, the two begin their fight.

However, when the two finally join an alliance to find Wylan a bride to satisfy his father, they find themselves growing closer than originally anticipated.
And in this, some new feelings they never expected to ever arise.

What happens next?
Do they love each other?
Do they hate each other?
