Sofia is a young woman who has lived a life of pain and rejection. Her stepmother, Martina, treats her cruelly, and her father, Antonio DeLuca, ignores her completely. She is not seen as part of the family—only a burden. When her mother died, everything was taken from her, and she was treated like a servant in her own home. Now, at twenty-two, Sofia learns the terrible truth. Her father owes a debt, and to save his real daughter, Alessia, he decides to give Sofia away in her place. She must pretend to be Alessia and marry a stranger. Betrayed by the only family she has left, Sofia faces an uncertain future, knowing that she is being sold off like an object. But then, who is this stranger she is being sold to?
