College graduate Sawyer Wallace has just come home to Meeteetse to visit with family. Excited to put his new degree to good use, he lands a comfortable job at the McKinley ranch until he can find something better. After a fluke horse accident on his watch, he calls Doc "Charlie" Peterson to the farm only to find the highly-praised vet is a woman. Even better, she’s an eligible, spicy little brunette with a jacked-up truck.

Charlotte Peterson is the only veterinarian in Meeteetse, taking over her father’s practice after he retired. Traveling from ranch to ranch doesn’t leave her much free time. So when the new manager of the McKinley ranch calls her to care for an injured horse, she has trouble trying to convince the handsome “greenhorn” that she has little patience for his charming antics, much less time to date. While she’s determined to dodge Sawyer’s every advance, she finds that some things can grow wild without cultivation.
