Socialite Daphne Remington was a free-spirited soul whose exploits had earned her the nickname of "Renegade Remington." Her family was not amused. Neither was her fiance, gubernatorial candidate G.D. McCormick. So in order to make her family proud, Daphne had abandoned her ways and become a demure woman who would make a great governor's wife. But in a move to have one last fling before saying "I Do," Daphne boarded a tour bus to Maiden Falls where one of her ancestors had struck it rich in the gold mines and started the Remington fortune. Only one problem: the Maiden Falls Inn where she wanted to stay was booked solid and with no car, she was stranded.
Maybe not. Newspaper reporter Andy Brannigan had a way with words and was known as a "sweet talkin' guy." He'd overheard Daphne's dilemma and recognized her. He was in Maiden Falls to write a fluff piece about the Maiden Falls Inn, a honeymoon hotel. It wasn't his favorite type of assignment, but he had hopes of one day writing a book on Colorado history and this was a means to the end. In the meantime, he decided to offer the stranded Ms. Remington a place to stay.
