A romance between a governess and the master of the house? What could be more prosaic! But things are not so simple in the relationship between Anabelle Lowell and Ted Wilsow. Ted broke off his engagement to his adoring younger sister, Annabelle, a week before his wedding. Now Annabelle is only interested in revenge. Making Ted fall in love and leaving him at the altar may be easy for some, but Anabel needs to get over herself to turn her into a bitch. And when she realizes that Ted's children are suffering without human warmth, she forgets about revenge and tries to teach the cold, sarcastic Mr. Willsow to love. Will Anabel be able to break through the ice shell on Ted's heart?
