Will their pasts keep them apart? Or can love heal their scars?

Adelaide Harris is seeking a new future. Jilted by an unrequited love, she heads West, beginning a new chapter of her life as a mail-order bride in a marriage of convenience, determined to never fall in love again. However, she is about to discover that fate has other plans in store for her.

Convinced she could never love him because of his disfigured face, Jackson wrestles with emotions he has long since buried. Believing Jackson only has platonic feelings for her, Adelaide struggles to reconcile that fact in her head while her heart is telling her the opposite. Can they realize their mistakes before it is too late?
