Beautiful Victoria has spent 20 years carrying the weight of an unforgivable wrong done to her... and waiting for the perfect moment to get even. When she was just a teenager, poor and naive, she was deceived and seduced by Gonzalo Montero, son of Don Gregorio, the ruthless owner of the ranch where she worked as a peasant, and became pregnant. But her baby never had a chance at life, thanks to Gonzalo's infuriated wife, Gladis, who gave Victoria a violent beating. Since then, Victoria, who at the time was known by her real name, Luisa, is obsessed with making the Montero's pay for her pain. Now a stunning, rich and mature woman, Luisa/Victoria returns to Florida with her lovely adopted daughter, in search of revenge. She begins by getting a job at the Montero ranch, where Gonzalo, Gladis and Don Gregorio are all immediately intrigued by her, as she uncannily reminds them of someone they would rather forget. However, vengeance doesn't come as easily as Victoria thought, since she never expected love to interfere with her plans. When she meets Diego, a landowner neighbor of the Montero's, it's love at first sight for both. While tough and inflexible on the surface, Diego is really just a bitter man, a victim of a great injustice, in desperate need of affection-which Victoria is willing to give him without bounds. To complicate matters even more, Victoria's daughter, Carolina, finds true love in Alejandro, Gonzalo Montero's son. Victoria realizes that if she wants lasting happiness for herself and her daughter, she must finally let go of the hatred she feels for the Montero's, in spite of the fact that they continue hounding her even today. Will she be able to? What will win out in the end: her unflinching desire for revenge, or the power of love?
