For years, Susan Sanders worked diligently until the ambitious young woman attained her current position as manager of the Helena branch of the Ellis Bank. Now, she dreams of being named a director of the bank one day. Through circumstance and a bit of matchmaking, Susan is introduced to a handsome ranch foreman named Dusty MacFarland. They spend a memorable day and evening serving as bridesmaid and groomsman at their friends’ wedding. Dusty has held a lifelong dream of his own—buying and operating a horse ranch. Due to a recent inheritance, his dream is within reach and he enlists Susan’s assistance in making the dream come true. Susan soon realizes that her urban commerce goals don’t match with Dusty’s rural ranching plans and with their contrasting dreams on a collision course, a future together seems impossible. An early disappointment derails Dusty’s plans, but a new opportunity presents itself immediately. Surprisingly, this arrangement could enable both of their dreams to come true and a future together might be possible after all. And then tragedy strikes, leaving Dusty’s dreams in tatters. Could this unfortunate situation destroy Susan’s hopes of a happily ever after?
