When There's A Will

Sixteen-year-old Eloise MacKenna dreams of someday meeting a handsome cowboy who will take her away from her drunkard of a father and the corrupt town in which she lives, and help her build a homestead out west. But all her dreams are suddenly dashed away when her Pa stumbles through the front door in a drunken stupor, saying he’s gambled her away to a stranger while playing cards.

And so, to save her Pa from threats of death, Eloise marries Mr. William LeRoy­—a man whom she comes to find is an uncouth gunslinger and reputed outlaw. But late that night, when Mr. LeRoy barges into her quarters demanding his husbandly rights, Eloise suddenly realizes she cannot fulfill her father’s wishes, no matter the consequences.

Disguising herself as a boy, she escapes to Grovetown—a small farming community—where a handsome farmer named Douglas Tyler offers her work in return for room and board.

But as the months pass by and an attraction to Douglas and the beautiful town escalates, Eloise finds it harder and harder to keep her identity a secret.
