Several years
earlier, young Rebecca Switzer lost her heart to Jesse
Montgomery, a rugged but dissolute cowboy on a dusty cattle
trail near the Amish settlement of Apple Grove. Now, in
1884, she is grown up, and when she hears one day that he
has been spotted nearby, her desire is plain and simple:
She must see him.
Sheriff Colin Maddox is counting the days until he can
leave law enforcement and follow his dream of starting a
church. When a lovely woman, new to town and looking travel
weary and a bit lost, gets caught up in the middle of a
temperance riot, she is arrested along with the leaders. He
can hardly believe she is what she claims—a Plain and
simple woman. Nor can he believe how quickly he loses his
heart to her. Can Colin convince her to forget Jesse and
give him a chance?
