A spunky young girl with a mysterious past, Miranda has been a serving girl at Miz Sheila's saloon in Cripple Creek, Colorado for several years now. Despite being of marriageable age and quite easy on the eyes, Miranda's never shown an interest in any of the men who have given her a second look-and there's been quite a few. Except, of course, for the quiet cowboy Cory. When an unexpected visitor for Miranda's past comes stomping through the saloon's doors, Miranda is grateful for the friends she's made in Cripple Creek. This interruption to her quiet life might just be the thing it takes to make Miranda realize just how important opening her heart to love really is.
