After ten long years of engagement to Gilbert Norman, heir to a ducal house, Seara Elliot, daughter of a humble viscount, finally makes up her mind—it's time to call it off! Though her heart still belongs to Gilbert, his distant attitude toward her and the gentle smiles he offers to other women have convinced Seara that she's not the one he wants. If setting him free means his happiness, then so be it. Rather than cling to a hopeless love, Seara decides to let him go with grace. But to her astonishment, Gilbert refuses! Completely bewildered, Seara begins to question everything: his intentions, his feelings, and the truth behind his cold façade. Determined to secure his happiness one way or another, she sets out on a mission: to find and recommend the perfect bride to take her place... even if her heart hasn't quite caught up with the idea yet.
