Vi Olson is on the run. After leaving her abusive husband bleeding to death in their home, Vi takes her sister's place and travels all the way into Wyoming to marry another man she's never met. However, when she finds out that man has been killed, she has to rethink her plans. Her only hope is that his brother, Matt Bullock, will be the answer to her prayers and her heart.

Matt knows Vi is trouble the moment he lays eyes on her. She's too pretty, too bold, and has a mouth that could drive him insane with irritation and lust. But when she confides her past to him, he is surprised to find that all her flaws and irritations make her a perfect match for him. When they find out that her husband is still alive, does he keep her with him or send her away?
