After losing her parents and facing danger in New York City, Molly McGregor seeks refuge in the untamed lands of the western frontier. Desperate for safety, she becomes a mail-order bride in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, hoping for a husband strong enough to shield her from the perils that haunt her.


Ben King, a prosperous figure in the silver industry, has built an empire in Tombstone but remains isolated and alone. Determined to avoid the complications of love, he seeks a plain and unassuming bride to fulfill his need for companionship without stirring his emotions.


When Molly enters his life, Ben's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble as he discovers her unwavering strength and indifference to his wealth. However, as danger threatens to engulf them both, Ben realizes that protecting Molly means risking his heart in ways he never imagined.
