After her parents' death, Malinda Carter decides she will not fall victim to the hardships of her new reality. She lives with her much younger sister, Casey, feeling weighed down with the responsibility of raising her on her own, seeing no other option but to become a mail-order bride. Not long after answering a sheriff's ad, a different local candidate, Lester, appears out of nowhere, puzzling her over her decision. Malinda's first glimpse of him takes her breath away and she can't ignore her interest in getting to know him better. To her disappointment though, Lester won't open up his heart and let her in, shattering her dreams and hopes. Will she find the courage to claim the happiness she deserves, next to the man she has chosen?




Having already experienced abandonment by his parents and by the woman he thought he would spend his life with, Lester finds himself lonely, losing his zest for life. For four years, he has been isolating himself, working on his farm, as he nurses his old wounds. Although he is too afraid to admit it, Lester's hidden desire is to create a loving family. When his friend encourages him to meet Malinda, Lester finds it hard to take his eyes off her but he is hesitant to give her the key to his heart and let her become his salvation. Will he allow Malinda to restore his faith and trust in love, leaving behind the hurtful memories?




When Malinda and Lester's paths cross, they begin to navigate the treacherous waters of doubt and hope. As soon as they realize that everything they've been looking for has been placed right in front of them, the sheriff's unexpected arrival causes more trouble for them. With their own concerns shadowing their actions, can they truly overcome their fears in order to save a newfound love?
