A foreman set in his ways and a hardheaded journalist with a mind of her own canโt abide by the conditions set forth in her fatherโs will. But they also canโt abide with the notion of being in the same country, much less the same ranch.
Foreman Lewis Suttonโs been like a son to Richard Reed. Except heโs not his son. So when Richard dies and Lewis has to contact his estranged daughters to come claim the ranch that Lewis loves, heโs left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Sure that the estranged princesses from the east coast will send a lawyer to sell the property, Lewis finds himself in the unenviable position of knowing heโll lose the only home heโs ever known.
Molly Reedโs got a good life in Baltimore. Sheโs just taken a position that sheโs been pursuing for what seems like forever. A journalist spot. Sheโs been trying to get that job for so long, and sheโs written her heart out to get it. She canโt even use her own name. She canโt even conduct interviews. Sheโs had to ask her friend Cory Weston to go to the interviews and ask the questions she comes up with while she plays secretary and takes notes. Coryโs in love with her, so heโd agree to just about anything.
She tells Cory sheโll be back, and she has to go settle some affairs at her fatherโs ranch. She doesnโt know the conditions yet.
Little do either Molly or Lewis know, the conditions of the will are that Richardโs daughters must live on the ranch for a year before doing anything with it. Then there are more conditions, but the lawyer wonโt tell anyone what those are until the year is up.
