The Lucky Horseshoe Ranch, near Pepper, Texas.

Cody Bailman - He's a hardworking, good looking rancher - who has neither the time nor the patience for "courtin, a woman". Fortunately - or unfortunately! - Cody's twelve year old daughter, Heather, is determined to teach him about romance. Because she's got her eye on newcomer Sherry Waterman as the woman who's "just perfect for dad."

Sherry Waterman - She's discovering that Texan men truly are a breed apart. Especially the stubborn Cody Bailman. She's definitely attracted to the man - in fact, she's darn close to falling in love with him - but she'd like a little romance first!
