After the loss of her mother, Colorado's father arranged her marriage to a man twice her age. Running from grief and the arranged marriage, she found herself in the state her father named her after. Determined to make it on her own, she hatches a plan on how to become a different person, away from her father's reach. When an unexpected robbery leaves her without a horse or money, she finds an abandoned cabin. Hoping to sleep off the day's setbacks, she falls into a fitful sleep only to be awakened by the cabin's owner; Sutter Jones. Sutter Jones is an independent man who's been betrayed one too many times. He has no time for nonsense or women and the creature he finds in his bed smells of both. Will he expose Colorado's truth and send her back to her father or can she turn his head and his heart?
