Not proud of his seedy entanglements back East, Irish Immigrant Seamus (pronounced Shamus) Malone is determined to create a new and better life in the western frontier, but despite attempts to reach the woman that captured his heart, his letters for the last four years have gone unanswered.

But when a dark truth is discovered she must now decide if the love she once felt is enough to survive a second chance in the New West?
