Margaret suspects the new foreman on her father's ranch is hiding something. Though Daniel promises she's safe with him around, how can she be sure?

Born and raised on a sprawling ranch in Texas, Margaret O'Brien prides herself on her competence as a rancher. She's convinced she can do as good a job on the ranch as her brother who died in the war. But her father believes she's made for more than just dawn-to-dusk work. He wants her to have the love of a good man, to have children, to build a life. But she gave up hope for such dreams years ago. The ranch is her life now.

When Margaret's father hires Daniel Cutler as a new foreman, she's frustrated and suspicious. Daniel swears he's turned over a new leaf and isn't involved with the thieves he used to run with, but Margaret is unconvinced. When she finds out he's an undercover Texas Ranger, sparks fly. Can she help Daniel extricate his younger brother who is still involved? And can Daniel convince her he's the safe haven he's promised for her heart?
