Hope has run out for Selena Brown. Widowed with two small children, she's scratching out a living on the hard streets of Boston, and her in-laws want to take her babies away from her. Selena can't let that happen. Her only option is to travel across the country to marry a lonely stranger in Colorado Territory. Meanwhile, Mike Keating of Mine's Place, Colorado, is nursing a heart broken by the loss of his wife. He thinks it might be time to move on, and he's got his eye on Rachel Spencer. But when a twist of fate throws him together with newcomer Selena Brown, he has to ask himself: Could she be the one to fill the void in his heart? And does he have it in him to be a father to a stranger's children?
