Living again in a humble shack, Ruby is determined to make a secure and happy home for her precious infant Pearl. Paul Tate -- her first love, whom she was forced to abandon -- is at her side once more, now a man of wealth. As mistress of Cypress Woods, Ruby can forget even the shocking reason she & Paul must wed in a secret ceremony & remain husband & wife in name alone.
