Widow Martha Bellamy has spent too long securing her independence to welcome love back into her life.
When Jonas Numa, a wounded Native American stranger, seeks refuge at her inn, his guarded presence unsettles the peace she has built.
She looks past his scars, and he is drawn toward a belonging he thought he had lost forever.
Shared quarters deepen a forbidden attachment neither of them intended, while old wounds and fresh dangers gather around them.
The love taking shape at the inn may not withstand the forces determined to pull Martha and Jonas apart.
