Claire Sullivan has a soft spot for helping those in need. So when her widowed grandmother becomes blind, Claire is determined to travel to the Montana Territory to care for her. But she never imagined the country would be so wild compared to her North Carolina home. Even the local doctor doesn't seem to have a kind bone in his body.

Doctor Bryan Donaghue is sick of working so hard for people who don't want his help. He came to this wild Montana mining town to make a difference, but all he's found is pig-headed resistance. Even the sassy granddaughter of the blind widow won't heed his instructions.

But when disaster strikes their rough mining city, Claire's desire to help lands her in the midst of the fire. Can Bryan find a way to save these people -- especially the woman he's come to love?
