Depressed and struggling with grief after the death of her long-time fiancé, Emily travels to Texas as a favor for a friend. She falls in love with the big blue skies and the beautiful landscapes, but she knows it's only temporary. Then she meets big, gruff cowboy, Andrew O'Connor and almost everything she thought she knew about herself crumbles as she fights her attraction for the wary Texan.
Andrew has nothing but contempt for city girls and he immediately classifies Emily as one and wants nothing to do with her. Yet one gaze from her beautiful eyes and he finds himself questioning his biases and preconceived notions.
Emily and Andrew are perfect for each other, but there are too many obstacles on their way. When Emily's time in Texas ends, will they be able to break through past hurts and fight for the love of a lifetime?
