In noble society, while most people care more about house or status than love when seeking a partner, this couldn't be any less the case for Grace Shellgrave, the daughter of a marquis with memories of a troubled past life. Seeking a true connection with someone who feels the same way, she attends a masquerade ball in secret. After spending a romantic night with Alan, a man who seems to share the same values, she soon finds out she's become pregnant... and to make matters worse, Alan is actually the heir to House Ward, the sworn arch-enemy of the Shellgraves! Alan aggressively pursues Grace, but she refuses to let her baby become a pawn for another typical noble. Does he just want an heir? Or could it actually be... love? Two equally awkward opposites attract in this aristocratic love story!
