No, he will marry a lady of his own choosing. And the lady he chooses is the enchanting neighbor living with her family next door.

And when a mysterious man attempts to scare Leonora and her family from their home, Tristan realizes he's been given the perfect excuse to offer his services -- as protector, seducer and, ultimately, husband.
