In Dawson City, wealthy miner Seth Kirby is on a routine supply run when Belle’s unexpected proposal takes him by surprise. Her strength and determination captivate him. With marriage already on his mind, Seth sees in Belle the chance for companionship and stability. He embraces her offer.
Their tranquil life at Seth’s mining claim is abruptly shattered when a sinister presence targets Belle. Fear and tension grip their once-peaceful existence. Seth, fueled by love and determination, must summon every ounce of his strength to protect Belle. But as the danger looms ever closer, will his efforts be enough to shield her from the encroaching menace?
