Fed up with always being a bridal gown maker and never a bride, Scarlett is enticed by a mail order bride advertisement beckoning women westward to the land where marriageable men abound. One handsome cowboy featured on the poster catches her eye. In her gut, she knows he is the man she is meant to marry. When she goes to the matchmaker to claim him she receives the disappointing news that he is already taken. None of the others appeal to her. In fact, she has never met a man she wanted to marry. Only the man on the poster suited her. It galls her that the one time she is willing to take a chance on love, the man is taken. In response, she forgoes her search for a husband to travel west as a missionary with her sister. There she finds more trouble than men. At the same time, one good man finds her worth any trouble. It soon becomes plain to Scarlett that love is a game full of risk, one she refuses to play unless one cowboy can convince her that to catch her dream she has to be willing to chase it.
