She escaped a forced marriage with nothing but the clothes on her back. He wanted no part of a wife. Neither of them planned to end up side by side in the Oklahoma land run—or falling in love.

For years, Rebekah's mother told her that sooner or later a handsome man would come along and sweep her off her feet. That was before her mother and brother died and her stepfather arranged for her to marry their repulsive neighbor in exchange for liquor and a half-side of beef. Rebekah refuses to marry the vile older man and flees in the dark of night.

Mason Danfield has no interest in a wife. He's focused on caring for his motherless niece and nephew until he can locate their father. But when Mason finds a young woman stranded on the side of the trail, he can't leave her behind to possibly die on the prairie.

A chance encounter with Jake, the children's father, ends up with Mason riding in the 1889 Oklahoma land run. He hopes to get land for Jake and the children. Maybe then he can talk Jake into marrying Rebekah, so she can have a home and stay with the children she has come to love. But for some reason, the idea of her and Jake together doesn't sit well with Mason.

Will this chance encounter lead Rebekah to the love she yearns for? Will Mason and Rebekah allow God's direction to fulfill their dreams?
