He knows what he has to do
Rancher Dex Hightower wants custody of his six-year-old daughter. He's tired of arguing with his ex-wife about visitation rights.

So he needs to hire the best lawyer in town.
And that means Claire Cavanaugh. But Claire grew up on a ranch, and she remembers the isolation—no friends to play with after school, no ballet lessons, no trips to the mall or the movies. Not an ideal situation for a little girl.
Of course, Dex is not like any cowboy she's known. Maybe life on a ranch with him wouldn't be too bad—even for a grown woman.
