Elaine Winters dreams of a life where her stomach isn't empty, there's a roof over her head, and honest work is available. When a friend passes along an offer of a mail-order marriage she no longer needs, Elaine sees no other choice and takes it-only to find the man she's meant to wed is someone she wants nothing to do with. Now, she's in a strange town, penniless, and a target if he returns.

Oliver Mason has come to Cottonwood Falls to build a business and a future on his own terms. He's already promised to a woman who thinks he belongs back East, a woman his family approves of, but one who has never once held his heart. When he rescues a desperate stranger and offers her work while she finds her footing, he isn't expecting anything to come of it.

But Elaine is hard to ignore. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend otherwise.

When Oliver's intended arrives and the truth can no longer be avoided, the three of them will have to decide what they're willing to risk - and what they're not willing to lose.
