Some might say that our fates are written in the stars long before we are born -- that our destinies cannot be altered. Some might also say that nothing good goes in... or comes out of a Texas saloon.
And that's precisely why Lily Grace, born in a house of ill repute, the daughter of a whore, an orphan alone in the Wild West, will have to challenge every convention thrown her way. With the help of two unlikely friends, she escapes to a new life with the Sam and Sarah Tillwater. And while her new home isn't what she would have picked for herself, the simple country folk far from perfect, Lily slowly learns the true meaning of family. And loyalty. Under Mr. Sam's unwavering love and encouragement, she grows into a strong, spirited young girl who is determined to rise above her circumstances. To be someone.
But like the wind, life is always changing, and Lily suddenly finds herself having to decide -- to decide if her destiny is to marry a man she doesn't love. To make her family happy and live a life of ease and comfort.
But Lily refuses to sacrifice herself. She refuses to sell herself like her poor mother, a woman who had no choice in this cruel world. With a heavy heart and the help of Indian Joe, Lily sets out for Colorado where she meets the Foresters. At first wary of the dirty urchin who lands on their doorstep, the Foresters slowly begin to see through the layers of dirt and grime and see the kind, intelligent young woman underneath.
And the Foresters aren't the only ones who recognize Lily's worth and potential. It takes every ounce of self-control for Ace Morgan, one of the most dangerous and notorious gunslingers, to keep his hands off the spunky girl with the beautiful sapphire eyes. The girl who for some strange reason isn't scared of him and gives as good as she gets. But it's the rich and powerful Carla Evans who has her own plans for Lily. Plans that could take Lily far, far from Colorado and everything she knows and holds dear. The question remains, will Lily have the courage to find her own destiny? Or will she let her secret past dictate her future?
