Can a girl bring herself to love the man who has sent her father and brother to prison?
It was pretty hard when Romayne discovered out of a clear sky that her father had been selling forbidden goods and that her brother was wanted by the police. And with a girl as lovely as Romayne it was equally hard for the young inspector to do his duty. How could she do anything but hate him as the cause of their disgrace, even while her heart cried out for him?
This is just the kind of a love story that Mrs. Hill tells best - one that leaves a catch in the throat and a warm glow in the heart.
