Miss Venus Merriwell has been dreaming of her prince since she was fourteen, seeking a selfless academic to rescue her from the shadows of her gambler father's legacy. At twenty-three, after numerous romantic letdowns, her only true love is the orphanage in Covent Garden where she dedicates herself to helping children in need. This orphanage urgently requires expansion into the vacant building next door. Galahad Sinclair, on the other hand, is a man molded by gambling, having learned the trade from his grandfather in New York. After losing everything, he relocates to London, where he has built a successful gaming establishment in the East End. Now, he aspires to buy his dream venue in Covent Garden, unaware that it is adjacent to the orphanage run by Venus, his cousin's wife's sister. Their paths collide as Venus and Galahad clash over their conflicting goals, with her spirited orphans doing their best to thwart his plans. As they navigate their differences and the challenges posed by their circumstances, both must confront the ultimate gamble: the possibility of love and understanding between neighbors.
