Can a handsome, big-city doctor and a laid-back, small-town sheriff find the right balance for love?
Sheriff Jake Gutierrez of Lamesa, Texas, knows everyone and everyone knows him. He's not interested in having a relationship--he prefers just having some fun now and then. With his job and his friends, Jake's life is exactly how he likes it: comfortable, enjoyable, and with no strings attached.
Dr. Troy Cooper arrives at Lamesa General Hospital fresh from Dayton, Ohio, to finish his residency and mend his broken heart. Troy recently caught his fiance cheating on him (and on his new patio set too!). Now he's making a fresh start in Lamesa. No more relationships for him! He's single and ready to mingle!
Troy and Jake hit it off and they're on the same page. . . right? That is, until Jake's medical emergency results in a morphine-induced confession about his true feelings. Then Troy is offered a major career move to North Carolina. Now he must examine his heart and decide what he really wants.
