Blaire Altaluna is one of the most exquisite and jewel-like women of the town. Getting her mitts on both love and luxuries- she must have been born under a lucky star! Not until Levi, her husband-to-be, came out of a comatose. Seeing her bethroded in a sicklist was like watching the sun descend below the horizon and witnessing the vault of heaven be engulfed by the pitch black. Something she can not control. Something she has nothing to do with.

She's down in the mouth.

From bed of roses, all she could feel are thorns.

Everything went even more disaster when Jehoram Gustavo suddenly came into the picture. He isn't some sort of your mediocre man in the 21st century. A church's man. A gorgeous sacristan. God's follower, you could say. With his idiosyncratic innate, he could be a personified antidote to the wretched!

But for how long could he follow the commandments of God if his willful heart is desiring for something forbidden?

Can he fight for his love even if fantasizing about marrying a committed woman is against the 10th commandment?

"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice." ~James 3:16
