When four young street urchins in
New York find a tiny, perfect baby girl thrown in a dumpster, their lives
change forever. Though they’re little more than children themselves, Adam,
Cole, Douglas and Travis shoulder the responsibility of bringing up the little
girl they call Mary Rose Clayborne. All four have pasts they’re trying to
escape from and so they head west, in the hope that they can find a place where
they can erase the past and build the future that Mary Rose deserves.
Fast forward nineteen years and
the Claybornes are well-respected in the tiny town of Blue Belle, Montana.
Bringing up Mary Rose by themselves was a challenge and a learning curve, but
the Clayborne brothers have strived to provide her with every opportunity as
befitting a young woman of genteel upbringing. Enter Harrison Stanford
MacDonald, a Scottish lawyer who’s worked in England for many years. He arrives
in Blue Belle with a secret agenda and befriends Mary Rose, who adopts him for
her own, much to the confusion and annoyance of her brothers. When Harrison’s
news is revealed, it’s sure to turn this tight-knit family upside-down …
