When Megan Wakefield returns home from college, the last thing she expects is to find her father’s ranch transformed into an elaborate movie set, complete with an Old West-style main street and an entire film crew on location from Hollywood. Megan makes an embarrassing entrance to their camp and meets Gil, the stuntman, head wrangler and man of her dreams.

They get off to a rocky start when Megan’s horse runs wild on the set, and though the friction between them is palpable, so is the attraction. But Megan has competition in the form of beautiful movie star Angela Taylor. And why does the film’s director, Paul Eller, seem so intent on getting Megan onto the set?

Now, Gil and Megan must struggle against the jealousy and deceit that surrounds them if they are to discover the true feelings between them.
