Carolyn's rich husband has unexpectedly fallen ill and dies...she then flees the family estate when her controlling mother-in-law wants to force her to marry her husband's creepy older brother. Carolyn wants to marry again but only to a man that comes from a stable family. David believes he's dying...he's been sick since birth and has ruled out any hope for romance. When Carolyn's caravan breaks down near his ranch, he does the neighborly thing and welcomes the party into his farm....and in so doing welcomes feelings for Carolyn that he doesn't expect. Carolyn never wants to be a widow again so she doesn't let herself fall for David...even though the two seem perfect for one another?
