__West Texas, October, 1891__
__Practically on the shelf...__
At the ripe old age of twenty-six, Sarah Dawson knows she can't be picky when it comes to marriage. After all, she's rather plain and boring. Even her betrothed thinks her best attribute is her cooking.

__A lonely cowboy...__
Rancher Austin Kendrick thinks every man Sarah ever met needs spectacles. To him, she's beautiful, kind, and loving-and the answer to his prayers. But Sarah has been raised to honor her commitments above all else, even if it means marrying a man she doesn't love.

Can Austin persuade her to follow her heart instead?
