Oregon, 1831. Scarlett Settler knows she'll never live down being left at the altar. Quietly agreeing to become mail-order bride, she waits to be pampered by servants and chefs. But when she discovers her husband is a lowly blacksmith without a housekeeper in sight, she wonders if her golden dreams have turned to pig iron.
Dillon Stahl can't wait to show off the house he built for his new wife. But when the haughty, opinionated woman belittles his work and their home, he worries he's in over his head. Straining to look beyond her frustration, he starts to see the true woman he'd like to get to know for a lifetime.
As Scarlett hides behind her fear of rejection, she realizes Dillon is actually the man of her dreams. Can the mismatched couple overcome first impressions to help love's furnace forge a perfect future?
