People usually fall in love. But some people were born in love. Already. And always…

Miss Annabelle Fernside’s dreams of one day becoming a famous painter turn to ashes when her father pressures her to marry. Watching everything she has worked for crumble before her eyes, she is determined to make this courtship fail at all costs.

Phillip Caney, the Marquess of Cottenhorn, has been drowning in sorrow ever since he lost his wife and daughter at childbirth two years ago. The sole heir to his father’s title, his parents arrange his marriage to force him to take on his responsibilities. However, his resolve to undermine the deal crumbles the moment he meets his intended.

Like an ominous storm cloud, anonymous letters tear through Annabelle and Phillip’s budding love. When Annabelle disappears a wet trail is the only thing she leaves behind, and Phillip must watch his life turn to ashes in order to get to her in time. For the past didn’t have a choice then, and it wears hatred like a cruel second skin.

There are so many errors in the synopsis regarding this remarkable story. First, the synopsis states that the girl's name is Annabelle Fernside, whereas the book says her name is Anastasia Byrd. Second, the synopsis states that she dreams of becoming a famous painter. However, nowhere in the story does it say that. In fact, it plainly states that "Anastasia had all but resigned herself to a life of playing nursemaid to her father until spinsterhood should make a lady on a shelf of her." Third, the synopsis states that "her father pressures her to marry. Watching everything she has worked for crumble before her eyes, she is determined to make this courtship fail at all costs." Wrong! It was her UNCLE who pressured her into marriage, but also she NEVER tried to stop the wedding! Fourth, the synopsis states that the man's title and name to be Phillip Caney, the Marquess of Cottenhorn. (The TITLE states he is a DUKE!) Again, not so in the book, which says his name is Clayton Gale, DUKE of Calford. Fifth, the synopsis says, he "has been drowning in sorrow ever since he lost his wife and daughter at childbirth two years ago". Nowhere in the book does it mention this. In fact, the book says the Duke, 35, never saw a reason to ever marry! Sixth, the synopsis states that, since he is "The sole heir to his father’s title, his parents arrange his marriage to force him to take on his responsibilities. However, his resolve to undermine the deal crumbles the moment he meets his intended." Wrong again! The BOOK says his parents both died when he was young and he was shuttled between family. In regards to this statement, the book also says that the DUKE was the one who went in search of a wife...NOT that he was forced into a marriage by his parents. Another point about the statement of his being forced by his parents into a marriage...He wouldn't be a DUKE if his father had been alive to force him to do anything. Seventh, the synopsis states that there were some anonymous letters that "tear through Annabelle and Phillip’s budding love." That is nowhere in the story.
