When Fiona arrives in sunny New Mexico from her home in England, it feels as if she's entered a whole new world. But instead of enjoying her stay as an exchange student, she's miserable and homesick. Most of all she misses her boyfriend, Francis. Daniel West, the only boy in the ranch where Fiona is staying, is nothing like Francis. He teases her and treats her like a pesty younger sister.
But as the time goes by, Fiona finds that Daniel has a gentle, tender side. And she thinks about Francis less and less. Should Fiona stay faithful to the boy she's supposed to love --- or give her heart to the boy she thought she hated?
