Desperate to replace the woman he loved and lost, Sheriff Jeff Ritter places an advertisement for a bride. Little does he know that the woman who arrives will be more than he bargained for.

The small town of Fox Creek is the perfect setting for this unexpected romance. With its dusty streets and tight-knit community, it's the ideal place for Jeff to marry and start a family. But when Maude Connelly steps off the train, Jeff is taken aback. She is not at all what he expected.

Arrosa Cristobal tends a flock of fifty sheep on government land near the city of Glendale. She stays as close to town as she can to check in with her laundress mother who she helps support until her death a month earlier. A ransacking of her caravan while she visited town makes Arrosa feel vulnerable. She sets out on the thirty-five mile trip to Spur Springs to join her estranged brother, Jakombe.

But the minute he meets her and hears where she is headed, he hesitates, not wanting to be the one who informs her of Jakome’s death. His protective instincts rise toward this woman who appears to be all alone in the world.

Can these two strong individuals on the opposite sides of grazing rights find common ground?
