”Based upon his reaction to her, he should probably keep his distance in the future, as he didn’t see this beauty wanting a rodeo cowboy to be her happily-ever-after.”

Tanner Creek Ranch, located in Northern Michigan, overlooks majestic fields of hay and alfalfa. It has been owned by the Tanner family for generations. Once a working farm producing crops and raising cattle, it has become a therapy ranch to rehabilitate various domestic and specialized animal populations.

Eric recently admitted defeat in regards to his family’s farm and fortunately was accepted into the fold at Tanner Creek Ranch by his lifelong friend Jake Tanner. He is now a foreman of crop operations and is doing so in exchange for his animals getting safe haven from being sold, including his horse Dixie and a menagerie of other pets. His pride being what it is after this latest development; he is definitely not looking for love but rather simply trying to pull himself up by the bootstraps to start over.

Serena has made a name for herself in the rodeo world for her stunning good looks and amazing skills on horseback. Unfortunately, she has been surrounded by many people who don’t always have her best interest at heart and thus is detached and feels lost in a sea of admiration from so many.

When Serena’s horse suffers a career-ending injury, she is told to put her down. There is no way that was going to happen on her watch! This, being her first major act of rebellion, brought her to Tanner Creek Ranch.

Can a rodeo princess and a man with a bit of a chip on his shoulder find anything to admire in each other? And what is the staff going to do with one crazy donkey that thinks she is the star of the show?
