Abigail Martin, a woman of the western frontier, is a headstrong young woman who believes frontier life in the rugged Colorado Rockies possesses all the world she could ever want. As a woman who listens to her heart, Abbie is determined to wait for the best -- even if it means dashing the hopes of her childhood friend and holding out for a love as consuming as her beloved mountains. Montgomery Farrel is a handsome, refined Southern gentleman who sees in Abbie a reflection of the untamed, pristine land he has come to call his own. Monte also holds honor above every virtue ... even love. Their hopes suddenly collide when a debt must be paid ... and honor is the price.
