Born into a wealthy New York City family, Katge Tyler never fit in with high society. She to the shame of her step mother becomes a nurse to tend to the desparate poor of the Depression. Offered the chance to work in a California hospital, Kate is only too happy to leave New York behind and departs for the west coast by train. She is kidnapped from the train and held for ransom in the most lawless part of Texas. He only hope lies with Tate Castle, a struggling rancher who agrees to try and rescue this woman to repay a favor from a Texas Ranger to whom her owes much. With a young crippled daughter to raise and heartbreak in his own past, this ex-tracker is not about to take any more risks than absolutely necessary. But the pretty blonde shows she has more grit than he thought, sparking an attraction he never saw coming. All the while a relentless villian with close ties to her father vows to derail Kate for good.
