He meets lovely Mandy Evans, a children's counselor. Riding horses in the beautiful hills by Donner Lake and Soda Springs, they fall in love. But there's an old boyfriend still in the picture and a needy mother who wants more than Mandy can give her. A new love is rocked before its foundation is even established. Will they be able to put the necessary pieces together or will outside interference tug them in opposite directions. Nothing worth having comes easy.

This is the follow-up story to Rancher's Girl.
