When Ruel Chouteau returns home after his supposed death, he
shocks everyone. They are even more surprised when he
mock-proposes to a common housemaid as proof that no woman
in her right mind would marry him. Anne Webster is no
ordinary woman, and when she is shot through the leg, it
appears that she will surely die. She decides to accept
Ruel's proposal so he will be obligated to save and provide
for her family. Since he will have a year to mourn her
death, Ruel will be spared the hounding from his family and
the many families of single women in the community. But
after the marriage on Anne's deathbed, she surprises them
all by returning to full health! Now Ruel and Anne must face
a future they never expected!
