Genevieve Davidsly lived a secluded life in 1870 Chicago. She embraced simple pleasures like the burst of exuberance from when she flew down the staircase in defiance of the strict rules she lived under. Her guardians, a pair of spinster sisters, were rich enough to indulge in an existence bereft of all male presence. The niece, dependent on the pair, was forced to avoid any interactions with men. When she was injured and a displaced cowboy visiting from distant Arizona stepped up to rescue her, she tumbled into a forbidden relationship that changed her, and his life forever.
