Elizabeth went to the frontier to teach the children of the Wild West settlers in a new one-room class. In class, she has to manage six-year-old children and seventeen-year-old children, and at first she doesn't even manage to heat in the school stove. In the teacher's house, after moving in, she faces discomfort and insolent mouse intruders and is frightened by the howling of coyotes. But it wouldn't be Elizabeth to face adversity head on. The local community soon likes her, and young people to get married are opening doors at her. But she herself is thinking of "cognac" Wynn Delaney of the North West Mounted Police, the only single man far and wide who is not looking for a bride and does not intend to marry. Never. Will Elizabeth be able to change his mind? And what seducing tactics will she choose to be approved by her conscience and God?
