After witnessing his mother fall victim to a man with dishonorable intentions after she was widowed, Gabriel will not allow the same thing to happen to Annie and so he proposes only to be flatly refused.
But when a compromising situation forces Gabriel to act, Annie must submit if only to save her family's reputation and her sister's hope for a future.
