Na początku slavné historické romance je krásná Heather nevinnou osmnáctiletou dívkou. Po smrti rodičů musí posluhovat lakotné a intrikánské tetě. Shodou náhod se jednoho večera ocitne v přístavu, kde je napůl unesena do kajuty kapitána Brandona Birminghama, který s ní – v domnění, že je prostitutka – zachází jako s každou jinou lehkou ženou. Heather se musí potupně vrátit k tetě, ale protože osudná noc nezůstala bez následků, je nakonec přinucena k sňatku s Birminghamem. Z naivní půvabné dívky se postupně stává krásná a oduševnělá žena, jejíž ženství je ještě znásobeno mateřstvím. Kouzlo její osobnosti způsobí, že se z bezohledného Brandona stává zralý a odpovědný muž, který si svou trpělivostí a oddaností nakonec získá její lásku.

Her marriage to dashing American shipping magnate Jeff Birmingham signals the beginning of a wonderful new life for Raelynn Barrett. In the loving shelter of her husband's embrace, the pain of loss is diminished, as is her anger over her family's tragic and undeserved disgrace. But try as she might, Raelynn cannot close her ears to the cruel accusations and whispered rumors about her new spouse that buzz around her head like bees. And she cannot deny what her own eyes see, though the images before her seem to brand her darling Jeff as the worst sort of criminal, forcing her to flee his desire and his love. Yet Jeff knows he is innocent --- though he is unaware of the conspiracy that has shrouded his marriage in secrets and now imperils it with lies. And he will oppose the treachery with every fiber of his being in order to preserve his threatened happiness --- to win back the trust of the woman he cherishes ... and secure his place forever in his beloved Raelynn's heart.
