Sammy Ross has always been content with her life as a midwife in Culpepper, Wyoming. About to deliver her sister's first child, she feels slightly lost that she isn't having children of her own. When a new bookstore opens in town, she immediately seeks it out, hoping for enough romance novels to take her out of her funk and make her normal again. Barry Hamilton has been on the rodeo circuit his entire adult life. All of his injuries have made it so it's not prudent to keep up the dangerous lifestyle, so he moves to Culpepper and opens a bookstore. During his first week open, a woman walks into the bookstore declaring her love for its owner, and he knows as soon as he looks at her that she's meant for him. Will he be able to convince her that they belong together? Or will Sammy help everyone around her have babies and never have any of her own?
