Rancher seeking wife. For Kate Whittington, the modest words of a newspaper ad are the answer to her prayers. She has no prospects in the unforgiving Maine village of her birth and correspondence from the lonely Texas widower sparks tempting dreams of a house, a family, and a future. But when Kate arrives at the magnificent Lone Star Ranch eager to meet her new husband, she is greeted by the news that Reed Benton has been wounded during a raid on a Comanche Village and has returned with a prisoner-a wild child who may be his long-lost son. Even more shattering is the fact that Reed has never heard of Kate, never wrote the searing letters that charmed her heart. Reed Benton donesn't want a wife. But he does need someone to look after the boy. It will take a miracle to heal these two damaged souls-or the faith of one woman with nothing left to lose but her heart.
