When socialite Florence's fiancé, who she's to marry in just three months, tells her that while she was away with her parents, he stepped out on her, and must marry the woman who carried his child, she is furious. She refuses to face the pitying and laughing looks from other people in town, so she decides to leave as soon as possible to be a mail-order bride.

Jacob Weatherby owns the bank in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and he needs a wife by his side to plan parties and accompany him on social visits. Annoyed with what transpired after the death of his twin brother, he has no desire to marry anyone in town. Instead, he sends for a mail-order bride.

Florence and Jacob feel a definite attraction for one another immediately. They know they can make it work until Florence discovers the truth about Jake's past.

Will the two be able to work through their troubles? Or will they be doomed to live in a loveless marriage?
