A story of the lives and romantic entanglements of the members of the Scottish MacGregor family. Alan MacGregor felt that he had met the woman of his life. Shelby Campbell had a dazzling effect on his mind and senses, and he fell in love at first sight. He longed to share every moment with her, including the hardships of an ambitious politician's life. He charmed and seduced her in the most romantic way a man possibly can. After a brief acquaintance he asked her to marry him, but Shelby said no. She loved him, yet she feared that he might meet the same fate as her father, a senator who had been shot dead years before by a fanatical madman.
