Allison Crowley had only known the streets of her hometown in New York since her birth. She lost her parents young and trained in the medical field to be a nurse. In 1912, she is working in a hospital and is close to her colleagues, Cynthia and Jennifer. But she feels an itch to start a new life elsewhere, which leads her to answer an ad from a wealthy rancher in Texas looking for a bride.
Bill Andrews is mostly content with his life. At least thats what he tells himself on a daily basis. It is only at the insistence of his mother that he look for a new wife to be a mother to his seven-year-old son, Casper. But when he receives the first letters from Allison, something inside him says its time to let go of his deceased wife, Cassandra, and see if love could really be on the horizon for him.
Allison leaves behind her colleagues and her favorite patient, Clara, for the desert sands of Texas. She is enthralled with the place the moment she arrives. But she is surprised to discover that Casper is a sickly child, who is taken care of daily by a nanny/nurse named Mary.
Immediately upon her arrival, Allison knows there is something off with Mary. She is the only person she meets who does not have a friendly, positive demeanor. Mary is suspicious and solemn, unless she is speaking to Bill. When she is around her employer, she acts more like a wife and mother. Allison does not like to feel jealous, nor does she want to be afraid that she could lose the man shed fallen for so quickly to a woman who already had her sights set on him.
Allison begins to question whether she was brought to Texas to be a wife or a nurse for the child. She loves her profession but did not want it to mix into her personal life. She doesnt know whether to confront Bill about it or not. He doesnt seem to have a clue whats going on with the women around him. If he does, he surely doesnt understand it or want to get involved.
