 Orphaned a young age, Jane is forced to live with her Aunt Frances, who would rather have her as a servant than a valued member of the family. After years of service to her Aunt Frances; Jane becomes tangled up in scandal involving her cousin, Alex, thus further removing her from her proper place within the family. She soon learns how hard life can be in New York if your family has excluded you, forcing her to answer an ad for a mail-order bride. 
 Morgan was also orphaned a young age. Without family to claim him, Morgan was eventually shipped west on an orphan train. Picked from the train and adopted into a family, where his stepmother develops a new affection for Morgan. With the death of his stepfather, Morgan and his siblings turn to illegal activities to support their life, eventually ending in jail. Upon his release Morgan sets off to start work on his own homestead. 
 After meeting Jane, Morgan realizes he may have selected the wrong bride; what he sees does not meet his ideal vision of a housewife for a new homestead. Jane knows there is nothing waiting for her back in New York and sets out to prove to Morgan that she can work beside him and maintain the household duties. Considered tight-lipped by many in the community Morgan holds onto many of his memories from his upbringing; Jane is more forthcoming with details from her past. Morgan has good reason to hold off with his secrets as the come back to haunt him. 
 Morgan then turns to one person he believe can help, the Sheriff; along with the sheriff and some help from two rowdy errand boys, Morgan is able to save his new wife, homestead and the lives of many others. 
 I think his book had a great story-line, the characters had depth and chemistry but it was a struggle to keep reading at points. It included many conversations that felt forced and just unnatural to the course of their relationship at the time. The flow started well then stalled for a while and picked up again at the end. Goodman added some interesting and quirky secondary characters that add to the book, I have high hopes for another book in her Wyoming Territory series.
