Thrust back in time, he's on a mission to prevent a woman's murder. Falling for her wasn't part of the plan, neither was earning himself a spot on the hit list.
Veterinarian Mathew McCall wants a family of his own, but plenty of worries are in his way: his sister is missing and his clinic is drowning in debt. When his sister's roommate asks for help on a dream project, Mathew reluctantly volunteers, because he just can't say no to a person in need. Before drifting off, he's given a mission: Prevent the capture of a rebellious spitfire, otherwise she will be murdered.
In 1853 Wisconsin, Verity Arris angered the wrong person, and now she's hiding from the vengeance-seeking tyrant on her family's farm, daydreaming of making her mark on the California Gold Rush. When a strange man brings her to the future, Verity doesn't know if she can give up her dreams for him.
Mathew must choose between staying in the present for his patients and returning to 1853, risking his life for the free spirit that stole his heart.
