Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is drawn to Arabella from their first meetingCollis is married and thirty years her senior, yet they are well-matched in temperament, and flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair. With Colliss help, Arabella eventually moves to New York, posing as a genteel, well-to-do Southern widow. Using Colliss seed money and her own shrewd investing instincts, she begins to amass a fortune.
