Eleanor Whitford crosses the ocean to mourn her sister, only to find two orphaned children depending on her and a will that gives her little mercy. To protect their inheritance, she must marry within sixty days and keep the kids close to their estranged uncle in the West. Can a refined Englishwoman survive the frontier when the children’s brooding uncle begins to soften her heart?

Now his niece and nephew appear in his life with a woman too proper, too brave, and too determined for the rough life he knows. As they raise the children together, Cole fears that protecting Eleanor may awaken a longing he can no longer bury…
As a polished lawyer presses Eleanor toward a safe marriage, hidden debts and dangerous men close in around the ranch. When the children become targets, will Eleanor and Cole uncover the lawyer’s scheme in time, or will the West steal the family they are beginning to love?
