Carolyn Brown did it again!  We are again in Texas but this time in the middle of a feud between two families.  The Gallaghers and the Brennans are feuding and want the land between their ranches. That land The Fiddle Creek Ranch belongs to The Cleary women.  Jill is the niece that has come to work the ranch with her Aunt Gladys on the Ranch.  Aunt Gladys has hired Sawyer to help as the foreman of the ranch.  

When Jill and Sawyer meet the fireworks go off, but before they can even take in what is going on both of them have dates with The Gallaghers and the Brennans.  The Gallaghers and the Brennans want Sawyer so the Fiddle Creek Ranch may sell to them soon and they want Jill so they can have the land trough marriage. Problem is that Jill and Sawyer don’t want any of them and agree to have each other’s backs.
