He's betting on friendship.

She's banking on love.

Recently single, livestock vet Kate Cardiff is tired of risking her heart. So when an emergency calls her home to her family's struggling ranch, Kate is ready to help--and definitely not looking for love. It's dislike at first sight when she meets temporary ranch hand and storm-chasing photographer Nathan Prescott. He says he can win her over, but Nathan lives in the moment, not for the future. If Kate opens her heart to someone who lives on the edge, will taking the risk lead to another heartbreak...or a new beginning?
