Honor`s quest: Young Abigail Farrel is just beginning to adjust to her ladylike life as the wife of Montgomery Farrel when word comes of the death of Monte's sister, Frances. Though tragic, the funeral allows Abbie her first glimpse of Monte's beloved South and brings into their lives little Jeanette, Monte's orphaned niece. Though Jenny is a spoiled, pampered toddler, Abbie's heart yearns to let love and discipline blossom in the young girl's life.

Honor`s disguise: After her husband's death, Abbie Farrel's ranch is just beginning to work again, thanks in part to her foreman, Cole Jasper. Then two bounty hunters arrive, claiming that Cole is wanted for the murder of a saloon girl in El Paso.
