Single mom Tess LaSalle now works in the local real estate company and lives with her daughter, Nate, and her mom, who runs their home as a bed-and-breakfast. But with money so scarce in this small town, the business is not very good at either enterprise. The real estate company is close to shutting down, so they need revenue bad. As a teenager, she had been in love with Caleb, but he had left her behind to make his fortune at the rodeo. He had left her with promises, which turned out to be empty after two months had gone by without a word from him. When she discovered she was pregnant and had nowhere to turn, she had followed him to the rodeo. But, happy with his first win, he had two girls wrapped around him when she saw him. She told him she had something important to tell him. But the denigrating remarks he made to her about the folks in their town led her to believe he included her. So her stubborn pride refused to let her tell him the news of her pregnancy. Instead she returned home, had her baby and raised her on her own.
Now he is back in town and wanting to buy a piece of property, and he wants Tess to be his real estate agent. With the condition of their finances, she has no choice. To make matters worse, he decides to stay at the bed-and-breakfast that her mother runs and where Tess and her daughter live. How long will it take until he figures out that the little girl who worships him is his daughter…or that Tess has never gotten over him?
