She just got jilted. He's lost in the bottle. When fate brings them together, will their wounded souls burn with intertwined passion?

Manhattan, 1908. Margaret Jennings is nursing a bruised heart. Socially tainted by a broken engagement and ignored by her parents, she's humiliated when a night of rebellion leads to an arrest and another family scandal. Shipped off to Oklahoma to help a friend with her down-on-his-luck brother, she takes on the task of facing the grumpy man with good-spirited wit.

Dr. Bart Peters will never be enough for his father. Penniless and on the verge of losing his practice and home, he's furious when his sister shows up on his doorstep accompanied by a beautiful upper-crust stranger. Expected to head back to New York with his tail between his legs, he marches off to the saloon for some much-needed whiskey—only to wind up injured and unfit for travel.

Excited by a chance to postpone a return to her staid existence, Margaret volunteers to stay and care for the unhappy physician with a hidden tender side. While Bart does his darndest to drive away the charming woman who seems both a match for his vinegar and a salve for his spirit. Will their verbal fencing and simmering chemistry lead to the unconditional love they desire?
