The Proposition

The Napoleonic war leaves Catherine Morgan, widowed and desolate, her life and land up for grabs. With two daughters and her debts mounting, she is easy prey for the power-hungry sheriff, Huw, who demands her hand in marriage.

Driven by despair and a glimmer of hope, Catherine turns to Huw's half brother, Rhys, a drunken womanizer, whose skills as a drover may prove the way to her salvation.
