The young lady Viola Gambol was ready to do anything to avoid marriage with a person she hated - even to leave home and become a maid in a closed boarding house. However, the boarding house turned out to be a secret den of debauchery, and before the poor girl knew it, she had already been sold at auction. Could she really be owned as a slave by the mysterious Julian Devizes, who paid huge sums of money for her? Viola does not intend to agree with this at all. Devizes will not get her either by goodness or by force! And there is only one thing she did not take into account - love has already captured her, and all that remains is to come to terms with the choice of her own heart.
