Rorie Campbell has a pleasant, predictable life in San Francisco, where she's seeing a pleasant, predictable man. When her car breaks down on an Oregon country road while she's on vacation, she meets horse rancher Clay Franklin. Clay is, for the moment, her knight in shining armor, but it doesn't take long for him to become much more to Rorie, who learns that a city girl can fall head over heels for a country guy. The only problem is, Clay has no right to return Rorie's feelings. He's engaged to be married to another woman.
