That's not what she wants or deserves, so she goes to Colorado seeking refuge with Susannah and Lucas Jessup. The couple will help her get on her feet and make a new life. The problem is that Rowena has no idea part of the plan is for her to marry. With so many terrible experiences with bad men, why would she want to marry one?

Can Rowena find a way to trust again, even when she's been deceived by just about every man who has crossed her path? Can Jeb get the courage to reach out and make Rowena understand?
