Impatient to meet her groom and help grow his general store, mail-order bride Eliza Cantrell sets out a week early. But train robbers steal her dowry and Axel, her groom-to-be, isn't in town when she finally arrives. Axel's business partner, William Stanton, has no head for business and would rather be a doctor. He feels responsible for Eliza and lets her help around the store, where she quickly proves more adept at business than he'll ever be. And the sparks that fly between Will and Eliza as they work together are hard to ignore. But Eliza is meant for Axel and is set on a future with the store, while Will is biding time until he can afford medical school. Their troubles are far from over when Axel returns to town, however, and soon both Will and Eliza must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to chase their dreams -- or if God has a new dream in store for them both.
