Desire has sworn off men, especially, handsome men, having escaped an abusive relationship. Sampson had sworn off relationships and beautiful women after a soul crushing embarrassment. Called ugly all his adult life, he believed no woman would want him. This two meet as Desire seeks accommodation in the small town she has decided to start afresh. Sampson’s house is the only place with accommodation, but Desire doesn’t know what to think when the entire town paints him a beast.
His attitude is gruff, his appearance is rough enough to be considered beasty, yet, Desire is attracted to him at first sight despite swearing off men. The feeling persists when his gruffness doesn’t align with his kind actions towards her. Sampson suspects his new tenant, especially, when the sight of her brings curious warmth to his chest. Having sworn never to trust beautiful women, he does everything possible to quench that warmth.
Can this two overcome their rough past to embrace a chance at happiness?
