Is the charming man who keeps her away from a blooming business really that terrible？

Could he finally reveal to her just how much he cares for her and always has？

Business is booming but the budding relationship between Mike and Belle begins to cause problems。 Mike’s father is against any involvement with her other than threats and intimidation and Belle needs to decide whether she can bear that cross for the man she loves。 Mike questions whether he is the kind of son who could venture out on his own if his love for a woman disrupts his family at home。 When his life is threatened and their futures hang in the balance， will the outcome be in their favor？
