Harriet Neville is a widow who has lost her way. A fish out of water, she is an Englishwoman on an American ranch, and she hasn't got a clue how to make it work. Desperate to save her cattle ranch, she visits Maxwell Recruitment Agency in the city, looking for help. Fate sees her stumble into the arms of a cool, handsome Texan and a sizzling one-night-stand that will change her life forever.
Turner Finnegan doesn't need the work. A job on a ranch? He could save the place with one arm tied behind his back, but he is busy doing nothing, and that's just how he likes it. His friend, Bernard Maxwell, thinks otherwise. Turner soon finds himself on an adventure with gun-fights and guinea-pigs, and one hot Englishwoman who wants nothing to do with him.
