They were bound by love. And separated by honor.
Nia MacPherson has loved Adam Hollister since she was fifteen years old. Adam wanted to do the honorable thing and wait for her to grow up before they married. Months before their special day, he is called to Chicago.
Through a series of misfortunes, Nia marries Adam's partner, whom she believes is mortally injured, to save the children she loves as her own. Only he doesn't die.
When Adam returns to find the woman he loves married to his crippled partner, he is heartbroken at her perceived betrayal. He also doesn't recognize the man his partner has become—the bitter shell of who he used to be.
When mishaps on the ranch turn into more than coincidences, Adam must fight for Nia. Even if he can never have her.
