After his latest bull riding competition, widower Dirk Branigan is flat on his back with a busted leg and in dire need of domestic help for the care of his ten year old daughter Tessa, as well as meal preparation and household chores. Because he receives a referral from his friends Sage Tanner and Miles Brightman, he hires a woman sight, unseen. After meeting his "domestic help," he decides Sage and Miles are going to owe him big time. The woman is spoiled, temperamental, frustrating, and yes, occasionally, endearing. Thankfully, Tessa takes to her immediately. As for Dirk, uncovering the woman behind the facade will take patience, coaxing, and a lot of love.
