After discovering that her fiancé is involved with her
best friend, Patsy Washington breaks their engagement even
though she is expecting their child. To protect the family
name, her autocratic father blackmails Austin Treadwell
into marrying her although, deeming Austin unworthy of
Patsy, he had brutally squashed their teenaged
relationship. If Austin discloses the blackmail to Patsy,
her father will bring trumped-up charges against him that
will result in jail, and he will never realize his dream
of practicing law.
Austin marries Patsy but vows to himself that he will not
consummate the marriage. Yet the love of their youth is
quickly rekindled as Patsy teaches herself how to live as
a poor woman, refusing to accept her parents' help, and
builds a life for herself and her husband. Her unselfish
giving is matched by Austin's sacrifices to lighten her
burden. The passion between them erupts like molten lava
and will not be denied. Austin risks his career to set his
marriage in order. This story of pride and sacrifice, of
fiery passion and of powerful, healing love will stay with
you forever.
