Propositions, secrets, consequences... there's no telling what the future will hold. But one thing is for certain. Love is at the heart of it all.

An unexpected stipulation in her pa's will forces Francesca Collins to approach her childhood best friend, Cole Seymour. She has secretly loved him for years, but he considers her a friend and nothing more. With no other choice, Frannie asks him for help with a wild plan to keep everything she holds dear. However, his shocked response was not the answer she was hoping for.

Cole unintentionally agrees to Frannie's plan and spends one delightful and unforgettable evening with her. Days later, she departs Pennsylvania, leaving him with no idea of where she went or why. He regrets his actions and wishes he could've given her more.

Five years later, Cole heads to Virginia City, Montana, to be one of thousands seeking to find their fortune in the gold mines. He discovers more than he was expecting and has the chance to begin a life with Frannie, who he has been dreaming of since she disappeared. Frannie thought she had traveled far enough from the life she left behind, but her past catches up with her. She finally has the chance to right the wrongs, but will a devastating accident pull her closer to Cole or will it further pull them apart?
