Anthony never felt much for his first wife having only married her to please his parents and refill the family's coffers. During her life, he remained true to her in every way, but after her death, he feels free to pursue the woman he is most interested in—Charlotte, his closest friend's sister. Will he be able to convince her he's not like other men and earn her trust? Or will she pass up her chance at true love forever?
