It's a run of bad luck when Sophie Granger loses her business and gets left at the alter all in one day. Desperate not to appear jilted, Sophie begs Clay McKinnon, Wrangler's Creek's smoking hot police chief, to pretend they are having an affair. But Clay refuses, leaving Sophie to retreat to the family ranch to lick her wounds. Hoping to leave his disreputable past behind, Clay moved to Wrangler's Creek for a fresh start. But that looks unlikely when Sophie's ex-fiance shows up to Clay's impulsive kid sister.
