When he finally meets Alice, newly arrived from England, it is firmly decided. Nothing could be more unlikely as there is an instant clash of personalities.

Yet circumstance and unlucky coincidence side against them.

When both Alice and Harry wish for freedom from the other, the situation demands otherwise and they find themselves forced into an arranged marriage.

Will love ever grow in the midst of such animosity?
