Rosemary Barker hates the sight of roses. She hates poetry. Most of all, she hates romance. When a dangerous shadow of an admirer pursues her with dark intentions, Rosemary hops on the first ticket out of her home in Kansas City-a wagon train heading west.

Little does she know that trouble has followed her on the Oregon Trail. Not only that, but the wagon master seems to have an issue with knocking her over into water kegs. Rosemary comes to realize that the trek out west might not be so easy-going with a wagon master bet on embarrassing her and an admirer bet on keeping her for himself.

Ricochet Chapel can't seem to figure Rosemary out. With her ever-growing temper, he's beginning to see that her anger is not just directed at him, but at God.

When his suspicions are aroused after several accidents and misfires occur, leading him to believe they just might have a treacherous enemy lurking among one of the wagons, he finds that Rosemary's temper isn't the worst of his problems. It's up to him and the ever temperamental Rosemary to find out the identity of this adversary and put an end to the mishaps once and for all before someone pays dearly with their life.

Can the two of them work together? Will Rosemary ever let a man into her heart again? Will Ricochet ever be able to show Rosemary just how much God loves her-and that he, too, has come to love her?
