The O'Halloran brothers, who run a bush plane service, are heading a campaign to bring women to Hard Luck, Alaska, population 150. But, like his brothers, Charles O'Halloran distrusts marriage in general. He also distrusts anyone related to Catherine Harmon Fletcher, the woman who destroyed his parents' marriage. Lanni Caldwell is the only woman Charles has ever fallen for, the only one who might convince him to take the marriage risk. But there's something Lanni hasn't told Charles -- and doesn't want to. She's Catherine's granddaughter.
