Dinah Traynell is trapped. Raised in a toxic church, she is forced to surrender to her sociopathic pastor's every demand, even while mourning the loss of her father. Though she dreams of escape, this is the only world she has ever known.
When Dr. Matthew Nicholas appears on Dinah's doorstep in the dark of the night, he is burdened with troubles of his own. He is left the university position, and has been traveling to escape the trauma of his old life. Now he is stranded and penniless, but he'd rather lend a helping hand on a stranger's ranch than go home.
Drawn to Dinah, Matthew is torn between desire to help her and the fear of getting involved. And Dinah has her own struggles with issues of faith. But when an abandoned baby is unexpectedly dropped into their lives, they must learn to open up and trust one another, or they will never break free of the past.
