Texas, 1867. Georgie O'Rourke left Tennessee after the Civil War took everything from her. But when she answers a mail order bride ad, she never thought her arrival would surprise her new husband. It was the handsome captain's mother who sent in the ad, and the mentally unstable matriarch may also take Georgie to her breaking point...
Captain Parker Eastman's responsibilities haven't ended after the Confederate Army surrendered. While he agrees to marry Georgie and welcome her into his ranch, he feels he has no choice but to leave her with his mother so he can stop land grabbers on the range. But over a month away may do more damage to his new wife than he ever anticipated...
With Georgie at the mercy of Mother Eastman, she questions whether she'll survive the war's aftermath. When Parker returns home, can he somehow regain his wife's trust to reclaim a marriage of admiration and love?
