Cora Hatch thought she could raise a family and grow old with her husband, but when she finds herself a young widow with nothing to her name, she answers an advertisement to become a cook, housekeeper, and farm help. Now all she has to do take a train across the country and marry a cattleman sheβs only communicated with through letters.
Levi Finch is tired of hearing his father complain about his cooking and since the old man wonβt remarry, Levi decides itβs up to him to find a woman to help out at the ranch. When Cora, a widow from back east responds to his advertisement, heβs certain the woman can slip into the role of cook, cleaner, and farm hand that had been taken care of by his mother.
When Cora sees Levi for the first time, sheβs terrified she made a mistake, but with the very first kiss on their wedding day, she realizes there is actually room in her heart for another. Yet Levi mistakes her surprised response as disgust and things are crappy for a while.
