Bridget Bell settles into the quiet life of an Iowa farm girl and does her best to fulfill her familial duty on the land from generations past. Growing healthy wheat crops and perfecting her mother's apple pie recipe keep her creative mind focused. Living the simple life may feel monotonous, but at least it makes sense.

When Trevor Bennett-a handsome, city-slicker in a three-piece suit and fancy car-arrives for a routine crop inspection, things quickly go awry.Before Bridget knows what's going on, her life unravels before her very eyes. One word from Trevor sends Bridget's hard work spiraling down the drain. Suddenly, the law, the Chamber of Commerce, and the extension office are all set on taking action, spurred by the meddling stranger who's upended her world.

Bridget wishes Trevor didn't look so good in that suit, with his ocean-blue eyes that leave her feeling unsteady. She may be rooted firmly in the soil, but every glance makes her feel like she's drowning. Will Trevor stick around and be her life preserver, or leave her reputation in tatters on his way out of town?
