The book starts with Lori (a poor daughter of a farmer) who has recently been raped by Eric Ross. Eric Ross is now off fighting a war & Lori finds that she is pregnant from the rape. Adam Ross (very respectable plantation owner) who is Eric's older brother is told by Lori's stepmother that she is pregnant & that he should make it right. Well, Adam proposes to Lori & she eventually accepts for her child's sake but partially because this is the man she has always loved & wanted to marry. Well, the thoughts that are repeated at almost every turn of the page is Lori thinking that Adam doesn't love her & only wed her to do right by the Ross child that she is carrying when the fact is that Adam always did have an eye for Lori & it doesn't take him long to realize that he loves her. Also, Adam doesn't believe Lori loves him even when she tells him because he thinks that she actually loves Eric. He thinks that she always wanted Eric & fell in love with him & that he tricked her into giving up her virginity to him. Adam thinks that there is no way that Lori could love him because he has a crippled leg & that she is disgusted by him but that is the farthest thing from the truth.
