After her father's death leaves her family penniless and homeless, Alex Parker hopes to profit from her family's sole remaining possession, an aging steamboat called Amazing Grace. With the funds from this sale, she can buy back her family home. But she needs a captain and no one on the river wants to work for a woman. Needing help, she turns to Captain Matthew Kinkade, a man who wants the boat for himself, a man whose desperation drives him to agree to Alex's outrageous plan of marriage in name only.

The love Matt and Alex find aboard Amazing Grace is powerful, but is it strong enough to withstand her insecurities, his tragic past, and the violent acts of a man out to destroy them both?

Shy, charming Lou Parker is keeping secrets. Secrets about who she truly is, her job, and what she desires from life. It's not until she falls for local Reverend John Hewitt that she realizes her secrets need to be shared...even though she risks losing him forever.

John Hewitt has secrets of his own, but none compared to the love he feels for Lou--until he discovers that Madame Angelique, a sultry, mysterious songstress his congregation considers "fallen," is actually Lou. John already has to deal with fickle churchgoers casting judgment on the Parker sisters for their riverboat "heathen" business without them wondering about his feelings for Lou.

When their fragile relationship is tested, with the revelation of their secrets, they must find the courage to overcome their past. Will they discover in time that true love can heal any wound?
