Lila Harrow rides west to claim the Dakota land left by her late aunt, determined to escape the unwanted betrothal waiting for her back home.

What begins as a simple arrangement soon grows into something neither of them anticipated. But when Lila’s past arrives, determined to reclaim her and shatter the fragile life she has begun to build, she and Nathaniel must decide whether their union is merely a necessity or a love worth risking everything to protect.
