When a brilliant female physician and an idealistic male doctor strike a deal to marry their way to freedom, they think they have it all figured out—she'll escape her father's control, and he'll secure his inheritance to build a hospital in the untamed West. But as they settle into their new life in Harmony Springs, the convenient arrangement becomes anything but, and stolen glances during quiet evenings start feeling dangerously real. With each genuine moment they share while building something meaningful together, both discover that the walls they've carefully constructed around their hearts might be exactly what's keeping them from the one thing neither expected to find. A swoon-worthy slow burn about two people learning that sometimes the best partnerships are the ones we never plan for.
