"    Sebastian Reyne is business mogul who has worked himself from the abject poverty of the genteel aristocracy to a weathly entreprenuer. During his rise to the top, his two little sisters were stolen from him, and manages to finally get them back, only to find they there bear emotional scars, the trust no one, and he decides his only recourse is to go to London and find a woman who will mother the children back into safe and confidant children. Sebastian sends his man of business out to find the perfect wife candidate and proceeds to London to court his secretary's ideal woman, only when he begins his courtship of Lady Elinore, he finds his head turned by the beautiful Lady Hope Merridew.
   Lady Hope is a woman with emotional scars herself due to her Grandfather's physical and mental abuse of her and her sisters. When Hope sees Sebastian for the first time the spark between them is instantanous, but her fear of his large frame holds her back. Sebastian also has vowed to court only Lady Elinore, think that Hope sheltered life would be of no use to his traumatized little sisters.
   As Sebastian and Hope's life become intertwined due to there hopeless attraction, she finds he is a gentle giant who is trying his best to help his sisters and he finds Hope has a backbone of steel, and her gentleness is actually helping his little sisters to bloom. The two fall helplessly in love, but Sebastian worries for his sisters and Hope fights her fears due her past abuse. Together the two pave a path of love and security, for themselve and their families."
