Everything Kathleen Able has ever known was a lie. After discovering the truth about her parents, she leaves her home in Little Sicily on a quest to discover who her mother was. The journey leads her to the saloon where her mother died. When she meets saloon madam Rita Dolsen, bitterness against the family who lied to her and lack of other options causes her to agree to sing in Rita's saloon in Dempsey, Ohio. Though she promised herself she wouldn't stay long enough to be compromised, now she's in over her head and her life is in danger because of an obsessed man pursuing her in the saloon. She has one glimmer of hope left. The deputy, Joshua Whitley, has been kind to her. In desperation, she asks him to marry her. Joshua is a devoted man of God with a scarred past he is trying to overcome. The idea of marrying a saloon girl flies in the face of everything he hoped for. Would God ask him to risk his reputation on her behalf? Is there more to Kathleen than he assumes at first?
