Harry and his spouse find the marriage certificate that has John's signature on it. He does the right thing and takes Maggie Smith to live with John's estranged father. Unwelcome at first, Maggie brings sunshine and smiles to Summerton Hall where she is received as John's wife.
Two years later, John returns to find everyone believes Maggie is his wife. He plans to uncover the identity of the impersonator as he now believes she really believed that she once married John Grayson, but why is she perpetrating the fraud once she knew who he was. What he did not anticipate was falling in love with a woman he does not trust and loving someone else's child.
