During the American Civil War, Cora Hammond worked alongside her father caring for wounded Union soldiers. When the war ended, instead of becoming a full-fledged nurse as she had always dreamed, she cared for her ailing father who eventually died of consumption.

When it’s finally Cora’s turn to follow her own dreams, her greedy brother has other plans and insists she marry a cruel and violent older man.

Seeking council from a trusted family friend, she’s offered the opportunity to travel to the Colorado territory as a mail order bride. Desperate, Cora accepts.

Serving as guide and mentor on the journey west is her childhood nemesis and future brother-in-law, Simon O’Leary. Together the two will face challenges and obstacles, not the least of which their feelings for one another.

Cora found the courage to travel west, but will she find a matching courage to follow her heart?
