Defiance "Fia" Valentinè is quite a contradiction. Despite her suggestive name, she dares not disobey the wishes of her fellow gypsies, especially after starting the fire that killed her mother. But when her estranged uncle demands they provide a fortune that rivals that of the wealthy Whiteridge family or Fia's older sister, Esmeralda, she goes against her beliefs and morals, posing as a noblewoman, to retrieve the key to the Whiteridge vault.
Benjamin Whiteridge has had the world at his fingertips. He could be considered spoiled and selfish, if he didn't have spouts of generosity and pity. His parents urge him to marry the rich Henrietta DeAmouriff, but he feels that she is not the right match for him.
When their two worlds collide, it becomes a tangle of love, betrayal, and unforeseen bravery.

His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes?
