With few options of her own, nurse Abigail Stuart agrees to marry her patient, a gravely wounded soldier calling himself Jeremiah Calhoun. They arrange a quick ceremony before he dies, giving Abigail the rights to his Ozark farm and giving Jeremiah the peace of knowing someone will care for his ailing sister after hes gone - a practical solution for both of them. After the war, Abigail fulfills her side of the bargain- until the REAL Jeremiah Calhoun shows up, injured but definitely alive, and wastes no time in challenging Abigails story. Will Abigail find a way to retain the farm even though this practical arrangement has turned into a most inconvenient marriage? ,
