Camila Rose Barnes is a strong, independent, and single woman living at a time in history when such things are almost unheard of. As a result, she has to fight twice as hard for everything that is rightfully hers. When her brothers conspire to take over her part of their parents' inheritance by marrying her off to a widower with two small children-Garrison LaRue, the sheriff of a small rural town hundreds of miles away-Camila's life is thrown into a tailspin. Forced into servitude and locked into a contractual obligation she did not agree to, a resolved Camila decides to do what she must in order to eventually regain control of her life. But complications arise when genuine feelings begin to develop between her and the handsome sheriff. Soon, Camila finds herself torn between her determination to return to her old life and embracing the new life that awaits.
