Description
On a visit to her sister Jane's house, Mary Hampton discovers that Jane and Mrs. Hoffman have devised a plan to see her gainfully employed. They talk her into applying at the Broadwell House in Denver City for a nanny position. Widower Brandon Carlyle, who is in town on business, requires a caretaker for his infant daughter, Rosalind, and upon meeting Mary, he hires her. The attraction between them is undeniable, and, although Mary has a disconcerting habit of speaking her mind too bluntly, she and Brandon develop a relationship. Upon the arrival of his meddling sister and her friend, Mary worries that Brandon will be swayed from offering for her, as he is from a wealthy family and she is the stepdaughter of the local pastor. But… Brandon is a man who knows his own mind, and the qualities he sees in Mary far outweigh the objections of his family. Although unexpected business calls him away a few days before the wedding, he promises to return in time, heading into the mountains before a storm. As her wedding draws near and Brandon is nowhere to be found, will the promise of a bright new future be dimmed, even before it's begun?
