Jake Vance wants a wife to help him run his mercantile in Maple Grove so he can have more time working on expanding his ranch. 

But Mallory doesn’t tell him she wants to work on a ranch and Jake doesn’t tell her he wants a storekeeper more 

than a bride.

Will that breach of trust doom the young couple’s relationship before it even has a chance to really get started? And when danger strikes and Mallory’s life is on the line, will Jake realize, too late, that his new wife may be unconventional, but he loves her exactly as she is?
