The shadows of war still linger in Miss India Beckett's mind as she gazes out at the sprawling fields of Indigo Run Plantation. The once-prosperous estate now lies in ruins, a casualty of the Civil War that tore through the land and left nothing but destruction in its wake. At twenty-seven, India feels like a spinster, trapped in a life she no longer recognizes. In great part to her brother’s actions and fueled by a newfound fervor in her Christian faith, India is determined to escape this life and create a better future for herself and her infant niece, Calantha. She gathers the courage to embark upon a journey to meet Ms. Ella Milton, the matchmaker renowned for her successful mail order bridal services—a journey that will change the course of India and Calantha’s lives forever. Meanwhile, in Dakota Territory, Lieutenant Colonel Elijah Brompton has resigned himself to a solitary existence on his homestead. Scarred both physically and emotionally from the war with burns that marred his face and appearance, he believes no woman could ever truly desire him. When Miss Beckett arrives with an infant in tow and ridiculous hopes of marrying him, Elijah is convinced it's all a big mistake. He turns his efforts toward finding some other candidate to wed the southern belle. After all, how can he expect a woman to desire a man like himself? And most preposterous of all, what could a southern lady possibly hope for in a match with a Yankee officer?
