Nora Bennett, the legitimate daughter of House Bennett, was promised to her childhood sweetheart, Ian Cole. But to win over her half sister Lydia Bennett, Ian deliberately threw a polo match, giving up the chance to win back the priceless hairpin left to Nora by her late mother. Worse, he demanded that Nora settle for becoming his second wife while trying to seize the dowry her mother had left her. Just when Nora’s heart was completely broken, Young Lord Hayes, the man who had won the hairpin, arrived at her door with an extravagant wedding procession, offering the hairpin as his betrothal gift. He stands up for Nora’s dignity and shields her from every scheme and humiliation. Finally free from the poisonous mess within House Bennett, Nora finds a new beginning with Evan Hayes and the secure, loving home she has always deserved.
