Austin, Texas, 1908
Laura Davenport has done the unthinkable and fallen in love. With Owen Wagner. Her childhood champion. But he thinks of her as a sister and is trying to get her married off to one of his friends.
Owen Wagner has lost his heart. And that's something he can't handle. He's got to convince Laura that it's time to make decisions about her future, or he's going to do something stupid and reckless. Like kiss her. Or propose to her.
But danger lurks. And before Owen can take a breath, he's on the verge of losing everything that's ever meant anything to him. Can he save his feisty firewheel before it's too late?
