Because of a youthful indiscretion, Aideen knew she could never marry. In a moment of foolishness, she had imbibed of demon rum and got a tattoo on her breast. Even in the enlightened 1930s, she knew no decent man would marry a woman with a tattoo. She convinced herself she was content with her life as a schoolteacher, and her fantasies. Then she found her dream man. Ransom had the world by the tail. He was an artist, a world champion saddleback rider. He had a career in the movies. Then he found he was a father. Eight-year-old Rannie was a handful but Ransom loved her on sight. He gave up Hollywood and all it entailed and returned to the Northwest Missouri hills. His boyhood home was a perfect place to raise a child but she needed a moral woman's influence. Rannie needed a mother and he wanted to give up his wild ways and marry a virtuous woman. If Aideen washed the walnut shell color from her hair, plucked her unibrows and wore a dress that complimented her figure would Ransom overlook her shameful tattoo? Together could Aideen and Ransom overcome the dreadful villain Oscar?
