Bartholomew Winslow, or Bart, is a young lawyer that Corrine Foxworth married shortly after moving into her parents' home in the hopes of being put back in her father's will. Bart was in love with his wife once, but now finds her a changed person, a dark, secretive person he does not know anymore. Therefore, when he meets a young woman who looks like his wife once did and has the open, friendly personality his wife one had, he falls deeply in love. This woman is Catherine Dollanganger, his wife's daughter, but Bart is not aware of this blood connection. When Bart learns that Catherine is pregnant, he finds himself in a position where he must choose between a childless life with his wife, or leaving all the benefits of his wife's money for a life as a father and husband. Before he can make this choice, Catherine tells him the truth about her mother. That same night, Bart is killed when Foxworth Hall burns to the ground.
