Alasdair Fraser finds an unconscious young woman along the shore and nurses her back to health; she has no memory of who she is or what happened. During her convalescence, they become attracted to each other but do not act upon it. Alasdair has always felt that he was something of an oaf due to his large size; plus he has never had a glib tongue around women. When the young woman, Edina, has her memory return, she doesn't tell Alasdair because she does not want to return to her father's home where she has been summoned to wed. Instead she wants Alasdair; they knew each other as children and at one time there was talk of their being wed to each other. When Alasdair discovers Edina's identity, he is angry because she didn't tell him, he is also distraught over her marrying someone else but won't stand up and fight for her. Instead he gets drunk and leaves before she is wed. You can't help but love him for his honor in not intervening in Edina's marriage but at the same time you want him to have more self confidence and realize that he has a lot to offer Edina. And you can't blame Edina for getting angry at Alasdair for not offering for her and then leaving.
