When he agreed to guard her, he never bargained on having to guard his heart. Brilliant scientist Linnea Newberry is on the adventure of a lifetime, traveling the Santa Fe Trail with her grandfather, Dr. Powell, on a botanical expedition to Colorado Territory. She longs to be valued for her contributions and not seen as a helpless liability. But at every calamity she faces, her grandfather threatens to send her home. After watching his ma suffer and die in childbirth, Flynn McQuaid has sworn off women and marriage forever. Headed west to start a new life, he has his hands full not only taking care of his younger siblings but also delivering cattle to his older brother. He doesn't need more complications.
The journey uses the Santa Fe Trail and nineteenth-century botanical collecting to place scientific ambition beside the physical dangers of western travel. Linnea’s demand to be taken seriously and Flynn’s fear of attachment create a romance about vocation, family duty and the courage to accept a future neither planned.
