When Pearl Winston and her sisters move to Fort Walla Walla after their father’s death, she is eager to settle down on the farm they have purchased. But settling down is proving difficult because of one of the cowboys who has been hired to take care of their new flockherd.

Gerald Romney has moved to Fort Walla Walla from Los Angeles because he’s a man on a mission. Five years ago, his twin sister Gertrude left home because she was in love with a good- for-nothing man that he didn’t approve of. Brian Walker was a conman, but Gettie couldn’t see past his good looks and charming mannerisms. The last communication Gerald received from his twin mentioned that she was in Fort Walla Walla, her husband was in jail, and they were in a lot of trouble. That was about six months ago, and he’s been searching for her ever since.

The easiest way to get more information is by becoming a member of the community, and so he finds work on Amethyst Farm, working for the five Winston sisters.

Little did he know that his search would lead him down the unexpected path of love, and that he would discover and have to deal with with a great deal more than he bargained for.
