Bound as an indentured servant to the Tucker Mills bank and its controlling manager, Reese Thackery finds comfort in her faith and her friends.

Thinking that things are finally looking up, Reese starts her work at the Kingsley family manor, but recoils from Conner's imposing physical presence, haunted by memories of another master. Not even Conner's soft voice and kind gestures can comfort her. When the bank manager turns vengeful, Conner and Reese must become allies.
