  Rugged Private Jake Deakins offers her a world encumbered by artificial rules. Their attraction deepens despite the possibility their familiarity could be construed as misconduct. Too late, she discovers the maniacal Lt. Robert Wood believes marriage to her will advance his career and he will stop at nothing to reach his goal.
  
  To claim their love, Miriam and Jake must find the courage to shape their own destiny.
