<b>(First book in series)</b> Life in 1857 New York City is tough for 19-year-old immigrant Elise. She'd promised her dying parents she would care for her four siblings, but she hasn't been able to provide a home or enough food.

Meanwhile, Thornton Quincy competes with his brother to see who can marry and create a sustainable town along a railway line in six months; the winner gets their wealthy father's business.
