Her greedy uncle is eager to push the marriage through, but Vanessa is determined to reclaim her freedom. She decides that the only way to break the engagement and avoid her grim fate is to orchestrate a horrible, ruinous social scandal.

However, as their staged connection leads to unforeseen complications and lingering tension, Vanessa remains completely unaware that Theodore is actually a powerful Duke who is hiding his true identity.
