Faced with the news that Lars has married and moved to Denver, Olina is frightened and alone. The Nilsson family took her in and give her a home. She discovers that Gustaf is all the things Lars wasn't, strong, steady, and dependable, but while she is attracted to Gustaf, she knows he only sees her as a friend.

DOUBLE DECEPTION: Anna's brother's, Ollie and Lowell Jenson, love the same woman, Rissa Le Blanc. The problem is, they never know how Rissa will behave.
