Anna Wilson, a highly educated woman, finds herself a widow in the wilds of Southwest Montana. Praying for an escape back east, the thought of marriage to a man with three children was the last thing on her mind. But marriage to a stranger or working in one of the local saloons seems to be her last two options. Can she trust another man not to hurt her again?

Seth Hillard lost his wife only months ago, but with a new baby and two other young children, does he have any other choice than to remarry? His first marriage wasn't something he was proud of. Could he now marry a beautiful woman in name only? Can he marry someone to help him raise his children and run his ranch but keep his heart safe from another disastrous marriage?

Only time will tell if Anna and Seth can learn to trust themselves and each other.
