A gentleman and lady on the brink of matrimony... to the wrong person. But fate has other plans for them and their meddling families. Victoria loves Elijah. Oliver loves Sophie.

So, they will do their duty to their families--even if it's not what their hearts desire. But when all four are invited to a house party, Victoria and Oliver may discover that marrying their parents' choice may not be as simple as saying "I do." Will they succumb to family pressures or follow their hearts?
