He's a small-town sheriff in need of a quiet life Disappointed, disheartened and burned-out, Gabriel Klein has had it with working in big cities. He hopes the small town of Pleasant Ridge, Tennessee, will bring him peace of mind. He won't find it with this woman! Isabelle Ash is a successful model, but she's always wanted more. Now she's won the lead in a television series that will be shooting in Pleasant Ridge, and she needs Gabe Klein to teach her how to act like a small-town sheriff. Which sounds easy enough, since he's a kind, generous man and she's eager and willing to learn. But once other feelings are involved it's not.
