Copper is overjoyed that her friends Willow and Audrey found love and fulfillment after the war. The only remaining spinster, Copper vows to pour herself into her new teaching job. But tragedy strikes during her very first week. The schoolhouse catches fire and Copper suffers a serious injury while ushering her students to safety. Suddenly she's on a wagon train bound for Colorado to see the only doctor who can help her walk again.
Ever since the wagon train pulled into town, Copper butted heads with wagon master Josh Redlin-and now she must depend on him for her very life. But as Copper is forced to count on others for life's basic needs, she starts to surrender...and let her guard down around the one man whom she's despised for so long. Could it be that the very person that drives her crazy is the one she truly needs?

Copper Wilson is still a spinster. She's seen her fellow friends and schoolmarms find love with the Gray cousins, but no one's caught her fancy yet. Ready for some new surroundings, she goes to Beeder's Cove to teach, but the new schoolhouse catches fire her first week of classes. Luckily she's able to evacuate all the pupils, but injures her foot in the process. Though no one will tell her how grave her injury is, she knows it must be bad because she's rushed onto the wagon train headed to Colorado to see a doctor who might be able to save her foot. Copper hates being a burden to these kind people, and hates even more that she's faced daily with wagon master Josh Redlin. Copper and Josh butted heads even back in Thunder Ridge, and now she must depend on him for her very life. As she learns to surrender, and trust that God is directing her path, Copper finds herself letting down her guard around the one man she's despised for so long. Could it be that the very person that drives her crazy is the one she truly needs?
