Rancher Dex Hightower wants custody of his six–year–old daughter. He's tired of arguing with his ex–wife about visitation rights. But she'll never agree, even though she's more interested in her career than in being a mother. Somehow Dex has to convince a judge that he's the better parent. So he needs to hire the best lawyer in town.
And that means Claire Cavanaugh. But Claire grew up on a ranch, and she remembers the isolation: no friends to play with after school, no ballet lessons, no trips to the mall or the movies. Not an ideal situation for a little girl.
Of course, Dex is not like any cowboy she's known. Maybe life on a ranch with him wouldn't be too bad even for a grown woman.
