Temptation
Norwegian title: Fristelse
When young Miss Amalie Gren arrives in Copenhagen in the spring of 1807, she is suddenly married to one of Denmark's most sought-after noblemen. At least that's what everyone thinks. Through a misunderstanding, she was mistaken for Mr. Wickfall's wife, and to preserve her honor, they have both continued their act. Amalie knows that marriage is the last thing Wickfall wants, and he says he will find a solution. But Amalie can't imagine what it will be, and the more time they spend together, the riskier it becomes. Not because he is mean or unkind in any way, but because it is becoming increasingly difficult not to give in to the passion that sparks between them.
Back in Christiansand, Marte and Jacob have finally found each other again, and there is nothing fake about Jacob's proposal or Marte's yes. But Jacob is not yet of age, and he does not have the means to support himself or a wife - yet. So when his father suspects that he is having an affair with Marte, they must be more careful than ever. But will it be enough when Mr. Gyllenmark has decided to destroy their happiness once and for all?
