In trying to keep her own past a secret, Essie is horrified to discover her new love is hiding secrets of his own.

Amos has always done his best to stay out of his brother’s way, only to inadvertently become the main obstacle in Judd’s path.

When a letter informs Essie that the man she was to marry has run off with another woman, she decides to use the train ticket he sent her to start over someplace new. With no job, family, or prospects in Boston, she’s ready to make a life for herself out West—even if she’ll have to do it alone.

The complete opposite of his wild brother, Amos lives a quiet life apprenticing with the local blacksmith and staying at a boarding house while his brother destroys the ranch where they grew up. But when Judd skips town and Amos has an opportunity to make the ranch into a home—and to court the beautiful new girl in town—he realizes he wants more for himself, after all.

But the realization that Essie is the woman Judd was supposed to marry throws a wrench in their plans for a future together—especially when Judd comes back looking for the woman he brought to town. Judd has always begrudged his brother his successes, and even though Essie is no longer interested in marrying him, Amos knows Judd won’t be willing to give her up so easily.

Will their secrets destroy the one good thing Essie has found for herself? And does she even want to be with Amos after she finds out he wasn’t honest with her?
