puts her dreams on hold to work as a cook at Clearwater Ranch, a station along the Pony Express route.

When Annie attracts the attention of a refined, dashing lieutenant from the nearby fort, she'll have to learn how to trust her instincts and follow her heart, even if she's conflicted about which way it's leading her.
