Sarah Whittier inherits Josiah Cady's entire estate when he
passes away. She's been his nursemaid and personal
assistant since she came to San Francisco. Josiah made his
fortune in the gold mines of the Black Hills and leaves
Sarah well set. She just acquired a storefront and the
financial backing she needs to open an art design studio.
Sarah has also enlisted several girls to work in the
studio, girls she is trying to rescue from unfortunate
lives and situations. All seems be to going as she plans,
until Daniel Cady appears at her front door.
Daniel has traveled several months looking for his father,
Josiah, and believes he has finally reached the end of his
journey. When he meets Sarah, he learns he is too late to
confront his father and acquire the money Josiah promised
for Daniel and his 10-year-old twin sisters. Now Daniel has
to seek legal means to his father's estate and all that is
rightfully theirs. Sarah is devastated at the thought of
leaving this beautiful home on Nob Hill and the good
memories there. Most of her life has not resulted in good
memories.
When a newspaper journalist learns that Daniel is seeking
Josiah's estate, he begins investigating Sarah and Josiah's
past and uncovers some interesting things. It appears Sarah
has lied and deceived everyone, and it is rumored Josiah
hid gold nuggets in the house. Will the journalist's
article expose things that will hurt Sarah's chances of
opening her studio? The more Daniel interacts with Sarah,
the more he has feelings for her, but she believes him to
be the enemy and pushes him away. Where will this
relationship lead?
