For the sake of her beloved horse, Pilgrim, Violet Cook is on the run.

When Violet’s father wants to sell her and Pilgrim to a cruel neighbor, she has no option but to flee to Virginia City, and throw herself on the mercy of Elliot, her long lost cousin.

After a perilous journey, outrunning and outmaneuvering her father, Violet and Pilgrim arrive at Elliot’s ranch. They are greeted, not by the joyful reunion she had anticipated, but by a hostile Wade Reardon.

Forced by circumstances to marry Wade, Violet wonders whether she can ever pierce the armor he has encased himself in.

Can these two possibly achieve a happily ever after ending? Or will they both be doomed to disappointment?
