A young suitor with his eyes on a forbidden love... and an old feud that threatens to tear them apart.

Locked in a secret romance with the stunning Lady Amelia, Philip, the Earl of Crawford is determined to win her hand in marriage... but if her pompous brother Alfred catches wind, he fears their old University feud will shatter their chance at love.

Can they rekindle their spark after three decades apart? And will Helena ever approve of her daughter's secretive suitor?

Meanwhile, Philip's sister Violet hatches a plan to draw both families together. She catches the eye of Helena's son Alfred - but what begins as a fake courtship quickly begins to become all too real. Is she willing to sacrifice the future for her brother and best friend? Or are these two families fated to remain apart?
