Henry Marshall is trying to leave his cowboy-player reputation behind through a farrier apprenticeship at Lone Star, an esteemed boarding ranch in the Three Rivers area.
Angel White now runs the place for her aging father, and last year Henry accidentally kissed her after learning she had chosen him as the only apprentice.
He still cannot forget that kiss, while Angel has never admitted she broke up with her boyfriend because of it.
When the pressure of ownership overwhelms her, Henry's comfort reveals a crush he has carried for some time, and the ranch's strict no-dating policy pushes them into a secret relationship.
Angel begins changing how Lone Star operates, promotes Henry, and intends to strike the rule from the employee handbook, even though exposure could cost him his job and her credibility as owner.
