Julia, a plain and straightforward viscount’s daughter who can’t lie, has yet to be married off as she’s considered too honest to attract suitors. One day she receives an invitation to a ball to find a match — but she’s not interested in aristocratic politics or romance. Still, she attends, only to accidentally get involved with Marcus Ashburton, the infamous woman-hating Duke.

Marcus is rumored to distrust all women and shuns marriage… yet after their chance encounter, he begins to act strangely around Julia, drawing closer in ways no one expected. What begins as a miscommunication-filled comedy gradually grows into a sweet romantic encounter between a gruff nobleman who “hates all women” and the honest maiden who only wants genuine connection.
