Believing in total honesty, she tells Wade that her life will never be dictated by a man, and to her surprise, he supports her wish. When she arrives in Wyoming, Grace is stunned to encounter a cold and distant Wade who only wants an heir to the ranch. As secrets come out, neither Wade nor Grace want to continue with the impending marriage; for, the lies that have been told have cut deep, and neither can forgive the other for what each has done.
