Douglas Clayborne walks into a barn to pick up a horse he's bought and finds a shotgun pointed at him. Isabel Grant was a fine looking woman but after coming out of the stall she was hiding in Douglas finds her 'as big as a house' and in premature labor. When her water breaks he carries her up to the house and delivers her son. Her husband was shot in the back by Boyle, a neighboring rancher who wants her land and her. She is basically being kept a prisoner on her own land. The rancher and his men won't let anyone onto her land or let her off. It just happened to be storming the night Douglas got through unseen and what helped even more was the men watching were drunk and didn't hear him. Now, with little Parker being born and the horses and house in need of supplies from town, Douglas sneaks out under the cover of darkness to break into the store in town and talk to the doctor who they won't let through. The plan is to keep it secret that the baby has been born to give him time to grow and get stronger before trying to get out of there. Douglas and Isabel become close during these 8 weeks they share together and end up in each others arms. She has fallen in love with him but he mistakes it for gratitude and figures that time and distance will take care of the feelings they've developed for each other. Shortly after their night together, Boyle's men come to the cabin when he's away with their guns blasting.
