A rancher named Kevin Bannon in Miles Gulch, Wyoming, responds, agreeing to marry her. Yet, Kevin has a secret. He doesn’t want to marry at all. What he does want is to secure a loan from a bank manager who believes married men are a better risk. Briana marries Kevin, and finds him standoffish, aloof, and unloving. What has she stepped into? Briana learns of the loan. She’s devastated – and furious. She confronts Kevin over his lies and tells him she plans to leave, but events take a drastic turn. Briana finds a dying woman and an infant on their property. Kevin wants her to stay. When the woman dies, Kevin tells Briana the baby will be their first child together. Kevin brings the sheriff to identify the dead woman. She is the daughter-in-law of criminal Pete Bailey. They bury the woman, and Briana starts to think of the baby as her own. She and Kevin name him Justin. But Pete Bailey wants his grandson, and he’ll commit murder to have him. Kevin and Briana embark in a deadly battle to keep their new son. Can they survive the evil of Pete Bailey? Can they possibly keep Justin? Will Kevin’s and Briana’s growing love survive?
