"You are on your own, Molly Brewster, and you had better get used to it." Alone, frightened, and pregnant, Molly had no idea where she was going or how she was to support her baby when it arrived. Her father had sent her away when he found she was with child. She was to stay with her aunt in New Orleans until she gave birth and then give the baby away.but Molly didn't stop. When she rushed off the train, she bought passage onto the first riverboat headed north. Lance Rankin was a young cowboy headed home to Cheyenne. He had been away for eight long months and was anxious to return to the Wyoming Territory.

The family plantation in Georgia had been sold and he now had the money to buy the ranch he wanted. He hadn't seen the young woman climb onto the deck behind him, but he saw her now. Her back was pressed against the railing and her eyes were wide with terror as two rough men approached her. A cowboy, a lady, and a trip into untamed country-what could possibly go wrong? Join Lance and Molly as they travel north to Cheyenne on their long road home.
