Neither a huge fortune nor rare charm can help Amyas St. Ives break into high society. In London salons they will never accept a rootless street boy who “comes out into the world”... unless, of course, he marries an aristocrat. Amyas tries to court a “worthy” bride, but his heart belongs to another - the beautiful and gentle Amber, out of mercy raised in a rich and noble family. Amber knows about Amyas's passion and secretly shares it, but she does not intend to belong to any man until the priest unites them at the wedding altar. Pride, duty and love enter into a battle, the outcome of which will be determined by fate.< /p>
