Protecting them was his job, loving her wasn't.
In the wake of their father's funeral, Maude Lancaster and her two sisters are faced with a dire ultimatum from their conniving uncle. Refusing to succumb to his schemes, the courageous trio embraces the newfound freedom of the new century and sets off on a journey to reunite with their older brother. Fearful for their safety, their resourceful aunt hires a former Pinkerton agent to accompany them on their perilous journey.
Charles Merrick is looking forward to working with a friend in San Francisco. However, his path takes an unexpected turn when he agrees to escort Maude and her sisters across the country. As they travel together, Charles finds himself undeniably drawn to Maude. With his dream job on the line, Charles faces a heart-wrenching choice: he can move on, or he can stay to see if she is the one. He can't do both.
Will Maude and Charles find the courage to defy the odds and seize the love that beckons to them?
