"When Erienne Fleming is sold into marriage by her money-hungry father, the meets her new husband Lord Saxton with trepidation and fear- for he comes to her only at night and during the day hides his face behind a crude leather mask. Trying to be a dutiful wife, Erienne ignores his oddities and more importantly tries to forget the man who stole her heart, Christopher Seton- the one man she can never have. In the end, at the 11th hour, can Erinne listen to her heart or to her head and run away with the true love, or live with the mysterious man she calls husband?"
