A disabled Civil War veteran and a runaway actress find shelter in each other's arms...and love where they least expect it. Lady Luck hasn't been kind to Patrick O'Shea. The Irish immigrant has suffered loss, betrayal and bitter disappointment since arriving in America. When a talented performer shows up at his saloon looking for a job, it appears his luck is about to change. Charm LaBelle would rather take a job singing in a saloon than be forced to marry. The famous actress, traveling incognito, is on the run from danger. She has learned the hard way not to entrust her life, or her heart, to any man...in particular, her charming employer. Patrick is determined to hold onto his good luck through whatever means necessary, including marriage. But Charm won't give up her freedom or her secrets, and it's only a matter of time before luck runs out.
