Spinster Kate Whittington answers a newspaper ad placed by Texas rancher Reed Benton for a wife. Tired of her lonely life in Maine and having no prospects in the unforgiving village of her birth, she contacts him and marries him by proxy. Traveling to Texas she falls in love with his letters. But once there she finds out not only did Reed not know who she was, he didn't write the letter to her either. Reed Benton doesn't want a wife but he does need someone to look after his son - recently recovered from living with the Comanche Indians. Slowly they come to accept each other and help the boy to readjust. But Kate wants the whole package - a family, home AND love. Can Reed give her her hearts desire?
