Rose Parker never imagined her journey to Dew Springs would leave her stranded and without a husband. Arriving as a hopeful mail-order bride, she finds herself abandoned by her intended and forced to forge her own path. Determined to survive, she takes a job at the local livery, earning her independence but hardening her heart against disappointment.
Steven Riley has always scoffed at the idea of a mail-order bride. Though he had the chance to meet the new arrivals in town, he couldn’t see himself falling in love that way. But when a chance encounter with Rose leaves him captivated, everything changes. There’s something familiar about her, but he can’t quite place it.
Rose recognizes Steven immediately, but resentment silences her. Despite her anger, she can’t deny his charm—or his growing affection. As Steven finds excuses to visit the livery, their connection deepens, and love blossoms in the most unexpected of places.
Just as Steven is ready to propose, he learns the truth about their first meeting. With hurt and misunderstanding between them, their newfound love is tested.
With family and holiday spirit nudging them together, Rose and Steven must decide if they can overcome the misunderstanding.
—Or will they let it ruin their chance at a love worth fighting for?
