Petite and pretty Kady Long, a celebrated chef about to be married to a drop-dead gorgeous man, felt she was the luckiest woman on earth. But when she opened an antique flour tin she had just purchased, she felt an irresistible desire to try on the delicate satin wedding dress, amethyst earrings, and gossamer veil she found within the box. Stranger still was the sudden dizzy spell that came over her....
When she opened her eyes, Kady realized she had been swept into another world. In a harsh, sunlit landscape, Kady saw that a hanging was about to commence. Ever resourceful, Kady managed to stop the outlaws with a rifle shot, and rescue the victim - a tall, rangy, very appealing man named Cole Jordan who stirred up feelings that made Kady more than restless. Kady asks Cole to help her get back to her own time, but Cole's got other ideas - finding himself smitten with her already, he misleads her about who he really is and takes her back to his town, Legend, Colorado. Once in Legend, Cole tricks Kady into marrying him and in retaliation Kady plans an extravagant dinner that will cost him dearly.
While Kady was creating mouth-watering meals and trying hard not to fall in love, she didn't realize that Cole harbored a painful secret involving his past - and that only Kady, at the risk of losing everything she thought she loved, could give him and the inhabitants of Legend, Colorado, what they so desperately needed.
Only she could give them a future.
