A Mail Order Bride seeking adventure, a runaway orphan boy and a cowboy with secrets to hide at Christmas.
Harper Scott lost her parents when she was very young. Having been raised and cared for by her older sister, Harper realizes it's time to move on. Harper doesn't have dreams of children and romance. Instead, she yearns for a life filled with adventure — a life out West.
Rancher William Dukestone's advertisement made it clear that he requires companionship and has no interest in romance or having a family. His requirements exactly match the type of relationship Harper had in mind. Eager to start her adventure, she leaves New York, heading West for Christmas.
A chance encounter on the train means she arrives with a runaway orphan boy, Henry, in tow.
On arrival, it's clear she's disappointed her cowboy, yet he agrees to go ahead with the wedding. Although married, William remains cool and distant towards Harper. It's clear that he has secrets that he doesn't want to share.
Harper's choice is tough; stay with a man that isn't all he seems or take off with a child that isn't hers into the perils of the unknown.
Will the forthcoming Christmas season bring joy or pain? Will William unburden his heart of the memories of Christmases past? Can Harper find the life and love that she secretly craves?
