Misty McAdams is the only female hand on the McAdams' ranch, but she works just as hard as any of the cowboys. For many generations, her family has rescued and trained wild mustangs, then giving them to great homes. The annual round-up has always been Misty's favorite week of the year, so much so that she has always dreamed of having her own mustang rescue ranch in Montana one day. But there is one thing, one cowboy, that is, that has put a halt on her plans. With electric blue eyes and a 5 o'clock shadow for a beard, handsome Clay Montgomery was like a dream. Especially to Misty McAdams. As one of the youngest hired hands, 22 year old Clay seemed perfect for Misty...as least in her mind. After making a fool of herself to Clay at breakfast the morning of the roundup, Misty was too embarrassed to even look at Clay under any circumstances. Despite her plans to never talk to Clay again, Misty's dad still paired the two up to ride together on the roundup. Because of that morning, Misty knew that any hope that she had of even just being friends with Clay flew out the window that day, or so she thought... Will the two be able to set aside all their awkward and embarrassing encounters during the roundup enough for Clay to notice Misty as more than just his bosses daughter, or will the only chance Misty will ever get with Clay is in her dreams?

Lacey Anne Ferry grew up on a cattle ranch in Montana where riding horses was an everyday part of her life. She loved the horses, cattle, and the hard work that came with living on a working ranch. In the little free time that she had, Lacey rodeoed. When she wasn't running barrels, she was roping; when she wasn't roping, she was pole bending; when she wasn't pole bending, she was cutting...the list went on. Lacey Ferry was the one cowgirl that everyone wanted to beat. She was phenomenal at every rodeo event that she competed in. Everything that was familiar to Lacey came crashing down around her when a freak barrel racing accident left her paralyzed from the waist down...and terrified of horses. Two things that she never thought she'd be. Instead of being outside almost 24/7 like she was before her accident, Lacey now refuses to leave the house. The doctors say that Lacey will never be able to walk, rodeo, or even ride a horse ever again. New ranch hand, Chet Slade Reid, "Slade," sets out to show Lacey that that stuff doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Can Slade help Lacey to get her confidence and love for horses back, or will her accident have left her too scarred to "get back on the horse" and "cowgirl up"? Slade was hired as a ranch hand, but as he sets out to help Lacey get the courage to ride again, he finds himself attracted to her. Despite his growing affection for her, Slade's dark past keeps him from telling Lacey his true feelings for her. Lacey sets aside her own insecurities to comfort Slade when a person from his past resurfaces. With God's help, will Slade and Lacey be able to live in the present but look forward to the future, or will they stay paralyzed in the past?
