Artist Maggie Monroe wants to see the West. Her cousin wants to see her dead.
When an unplanned accident strands them in a rough outpost, Maggie becomes
collateral for her cousin's gambling debt.

Rafe McBride is in town to buy supplies, not a woman. But when he sees a
courageous lady facing a future with a murderous trapper, Rafe shouts the
winning bid.

Determined to protect Maggie and return her home, Rafe and she trudge through
a blizzard, trailed by her cousin, the angry trapper Rafe outbid, and Rafe's past.
Snowbound, Rafe and Maggie are forced to face their enemies -- and their feelings
for each other.
