Sharon Winslow is artistic, wealthy, socially prominent-and determined to remain single. A devastating loss has led her to believe that marriage is not for her. Then she meets Temple Smith, a man who appears as uncultured as he is poor. His motorcycle and worn attire give him a certain rough charm, but what could a woman of her stature and talent find in such a man? Her hopeless attraction to him vies with her concern that he is only after her money. When word gets out that her family is in financial difficulty, Sharon expects the worst. But appearances can be deceiving, and Temple's motives are not what she fears. For his part, he must convince her that she will never realize her full potential until she can once again open her heart.
