<p>Pauline Wickerson longs for a life of adventure.</p><p>Working in her mother's boarding house in the smallsleepy town of Brookdale California excitement and adventure seem to be</p><p></p><p>in very short supply.That is why Pauline is thrilled when a mysterious stranger arrives to attend a wedding between James Rhodes and his Fiance Sarah. Sam Derby a friend of</p><p></p><p>the sheriff's from Texas is a cowman who has spent nearly his entire life drifting from one place to the next. He also has a mysterious past as well as dozens of exciting</p><p>stories that Pauline can not seem to get enough of. When Sam takes a temporary job in Brookdale Pauline does everything she can to get closer to him. Even though Sam</p><p>seems drawn to Pauline as well he is clearly holding back from her. Something is keeping him from expressing his true feelings. Can it be that Mrs. Wickerson Pauline's</p><p>mother has made it clear that she will not allow her daughter to marry a penniless cow man? Or is something darker from Sam's past pulling the two apart?</p>
