Although it’s been nearly fifteen years, Zach Walker is still haunted by the death of his beloved first wife. He and his daughter, Rebecca, have carved out a respectable life for themselves in the wind-battered prairie town of Planter’s Point, Nebraska, where Zach has taken over his father’s saloon. Since the only other saloon in town shut down a year ago, Zach’s business has been thriving, but still, he’s lonely. Imogene Cromwell has everything—rich parents, a devoted fiancé, and a vibrant social life in Boston. But that was before a series of nasty rumors surfaced. Humiliated and accused of being a wanton woman, Imogene is left at the altar and abandoned by some of her closest friends. With her reputation shattered, Imogene might never recover. But then she sees an advert for a Mail Order Bride from a Granville Ulrich in Planter’s Point… But things don’t go the way she expects. Granville, the richest and meanest man in the county, has taken over management of a vacant saloon in town. And he’s got more on his mind than destroying Zach’s business. There are secrets being concealed in those shadowy, sawdust-covered rooms, and the trafficking ring he’s running will threaten not only what’s left of Imogene’s reputation, but her chance for future happiness. If only Zach can discover what’s really happening and rescue her.
