Belinda Drummond has never been allowed to make a decision in her life. After a match made by her mother goes terribly wrong, she finds herself alone and at the mercy of an uncle she has never met. Can a simple hostler make a match to save the girl from shame and sorrow? Brougham is a man with too much past and no right to a name he has abandoned. His mountain home, lonely, isolated, and filled with hard work, has been his refuge and saving grace. Will the ghosts of the past give him the courage to help one in need or will they shatter another life in the process?
