Sometimes love is closer than you think.
Rosemary Archer is tired of ranch life and longs for more—just like her sister Meg. When a position opens up at the new school in Tombstone, she seizes the chance to become a student teacher, hoping for adventure beyond the family ranch.
Michael Tate, the new headmaster, is eager to build the school and make a difference. But when the newly elected school board demands he take a wife to secure his position, Michael is desperate. Placing an ad for a mail-order bride seems like the only option.
As Rose and Michael work side by side, waiting for his bride to arrive, Michael begins to wonder if marrying a stranger is really the solution—or if what he's looking for has been right in front of him all along.
