When beautiful Sally Baxter moves to Australia, she is eager for adventure, freedom, and to make a life of her own—far from the demands of her meddling family. Her friend, Julia, owns a ranch—and when she offers to take Sally in, it seems too good to be true. But Julia's ranch is in danger. Arrogant, domineering landowner Grant Forsythe wants to buy the land—and he'll stop at nothing to get Julia to sell. At first intimidated and enraged, Sally can't help but be drawn to the handsome, determined Grant—and he makes no secret of his attraction to her.

But then Grant proposes to Sally. And she can't help but wonder—is he doing it for love, or for the ranch?
