Jennifer Fairchild is running away. At 18, she seems to think that she can take care of herself. She starts out by losing her purse and money.
Ah, but then a job presents itself. Well, two jobs really! One as a housekeeper and the other as a mail-order bride.
Being quick witted she applies for both as they are offered by the same man. She decides to show up as a housekeeper and trades in her ticket as a bride for money. That should do it.
When Cade Morgan, at 31, shows up at the Gold Shoe railroad station after a very frustrating day he does not find his bride to be.
Carl Turner, the shifty eyed station agent, had misdirected Jenny to Em's Bordello, thinking she was one of Em's girls.

When Cade catches up with Jenny she has been felled by the giant of a miner, his friend, "Bear". Whoops here we go again!

You will love this story of a fiery, independent miss who is determined to forgo marriage but constantly makes mistakes in her assumptions of her place in life.

Now if Cade could only get past his abhorance of marriage and virgins and his lust for his young housekeeper he could get back to his businesses. Being really wealthy, don't ya know!

One thing leads to another with Jenny plotting to get her young sister, Izzy out to Colorado with her and set up their own housekeeping. She just can't seem to get her plotting right!
