Assistant schoolteacher Clarabelle Oakley has a hard time saying no. When Eric Meyer, widowed father of two of her young students, proposes to her, she botches her effort to tell him no and that she wants to marry for love, not convenience. Only days later, the unthinkable happens, and Clarabelle learns she’s been given charge of Eric’s children and his farm. Professor Franz Meyer arrives in Summit County, Colorado, to make peace with his estranged brother but discovers Eric is gone, leaving too many unanswered questions. One thing he knows for certain, however, is that he’s fallen in love at first sight with Clarabelle and is determined to win her heart. As Franz investigates what happened to his brother, danger closes in.
The mystery surrounding Eric’s death turns guardianship and courtship into questions of responsibility rather than romantic convenience. Clarabelle must learn to speak clearly for herself, while Franz’s search for reconciliation with his brother becomes a test of whether love can be patient without becoming passive.
