A historical western cowboy romance novel about a mail order bride. In 1866, just after the war had ended, women were still being brought over from the east to act as brides for the wild men of the west. San Francisco was still young and restless and the police department, now headed by it's newly appointed chief, Matt Weston, was in turmoil trying to maintain some semblance of law and civility. Meanwhile, Chief Weston marries Eliza, the woman of his dreams, and as he struggles with his job, Eliza takes on the responsibility of hosting three new brides. Rose is a restless spirit who is excited to go west and start a new life. With her negative aunt in tow, she takes the new railway out to California. Haunted by delays and a hold-up along the way, Rose sees the man that her heart at once knows is the one person for her. It's not the man she's intended to marry, however. Harriett, Agatha and Trudy came out on the stage. Harriett, forced to go west by her parents has a young man in New York that she already loves. He's the reason her father wanted her out of the East, and Harriett resents it, at first. But what happens if she falls in love with her cowboy and the other man comes out to find her? Agatha is a spoiled socialite whose father decides would be better off married to a cowpoke then staying in New York and becoming more over-indulged. She brings with her a girl named Trudy who works as a maid for the family. The girls have known each other since birth and are very close. So close in fact that they have a secret that could destroy the new love Agatha is discovering with her cowpoke, Austin.
