Portia Mackintosh was not given the opportunity to appreciate the delights of a glittering resort life in a noisy hotel on the shores of the beautiful Lake of Delights. Her father, a theater owner, lost his fortune at the card table. The girl makes a desperate decision - to get back what she has by entering into an unequal battle with the new owner of the troupe. But Daniel Logan is by no means an ordinary sharper and rogue. Perseverance and brilliant abilities turned a poor orphan into a successful entrepreneur. Poor, naive Portia!..

She resorts to whatever tricks she resorts to, trying to deceive Logan, but her heart beats faster and faster as soon as the hated “rogue” is near her. And now hatred gives way to another feeling, carrying her into the purple waves of passion.
