Fearless, fun-loving Cleo Arlington dresses like a cowboy and can ride, rope, and wrangle a horse as well as any man. In 1916, however, those are not talents most young women aspire to. But Cleo, twenty-nine and single, loves life on her father's Idaho ranch. Still, she hopes someday to marry and have children. Enter Sherwood Stratham, an English aristocrat whose father has sentenced him to a year of work in America to "straighten him out."
