Claire Mason is watching her five year old niece, Zaylie, for the next few weeks while her father is deployed overseas. But when her SUV skids off the road during a Texas blizzard and her cell stops working Claire is just about at the end of her rope. Thankfully, a real-life sexy cowboy shows up in the nick of time. Not only does he rescue them, but he also offers Claire a job at the Longhorn Canyon ranch until her SUV can be repaired.

Levi Jackson has always taken in strays--cats, dogs, bunnies, you name it--probably because, as an orphan, he often felt like a stray himself. For the next few weeks, he loves feeling like part of a family. But when Claire's brother returns home, will Levi be able to convince Claire her true home is with him?
