Her prospective groom places her in a respectable boarding house and agrees to give her a job in the office of his commercial apple orchard so she can learn about his life and business. But working alongside her handsome future stepson presents unexpected complications. Two years ago, an unjust accusation ruined Stone Kincaid's chance at happiness. Now he concentrates all his energy on building the family business. When he meets his prospective stepmother, he's angry that his father cares so little for his mother's memory that he sent for a mail-order bride younger than Stone. He believes Patience to be interested only in his father's fortune. Stone plans to keep an eye on the attractive woman who's slated to become his stepmother. Can two people working at cross purposes arrive at a compromise?
