Stella Martin, born into privelege in one of Boston's finest families is dreadfully unhappy living a frivolous life. Being betrothed against her will to a very wealthy man she can't stand is the last straw for the free spirit. Longing for purpose and real meaning in her life she flees the affluence of her Boston estate and heads west - anywhere west, preferably as far from Archibald Connors as possible.
When she finally settles in a small boarding house in the fledgling Colorado territory she begins to find out what life is truly like and finds a sense of purpose and even true friendships. Finally she's found everything she ever longed for, that is until an innocent letter to an old friend starts a chain of events that leaves her and her new friends in grave danger.
Will her family find her in time to save her when the jilted Archibald finds out the money he so desperately craves is no longer coming his way? But with her location unknown and evil people out to betray her what hope is there? Will Jamie, the handsome and very shy stranger who admires her, pluck up the courage to tell her how he feels in time to save her from a forced marriage to a man she despises. Or will his insecurities get the better of him, leaving them both longing for what might have been?
