Sarah Thomas is a romantic at heart, but she can’t seem to find her happily ever after hero. She spends her days volunteering at the poorhouse and avoiding the stuffy men her parents invite over for tea. Robert Woodhouse longs to trade his past mistakes for the thrills of the western frontier. Aching for open spaces and land to call his own, he plans to ditch his blacksmith shop and the crowded streets of St. Louis. Sarah accidentally wanders into his shop and states no man can woo her. Robert bets her she’ll fall in love with him in twelve days’ time. Always seeking adventure, Sarah agrees, sending them into a whirlwind courtship that neither could have imagined. Can Robert push aside his buried past and woo Sarah or is love a distant feeling he will never be able to declare as his own?
