Montana Territory, 1883. When Luke McCutcheon encounters Faith Brown, who is giving birth to a baby in her rundown wagon, his first instinct is to ride away to get help. Instead, he stays and assists her during the birth of a beautiful little girl. Unable to leave the lovely young widow, her small son, and the newborn unprotected in the wilderness of Montana, he takes them along on his family's cattle drive - much to the delight of the other good-natured cowboys. Luke, the third son of the wealthy McCutcheon family in Montana, is different from his brothers. As a descendant of a Cheyenne warrior, he has always felt the need to defend himself. His sparkling eyes and good looks make Faith feel as if she has stepped into a fairy tale, where men love their wives - and protect them. If only she could.
