Night Rider

Jenny Dalton rescues Rafael, her employer, during a torrential thunderstorm, finding shelter in a small casa used by ranch hands. He’s a popular and powerful ranchero, destined, she believes, to marry a woman of Californian or Mexican nobility. She’s just a foreigner he hired to care for a frail aunt, and now her reputation is tarnished because they spent a night unchaperoned in the shelter. Shamed by taunts she is a loose woman, she quietly leaves the ranch one night — and experiences the truth of “Beware the stranger who comes riding at night.”
