Luke Dawson, a steady, unhurried rancher who finds the whole thing far more charming than she does.Before she knows how it happened, Emma has traded her legal pad of cabin repairs for a job mucking stalls at Dawson Ranch, a standing seat with the Wednesday Coffee Crew, and more of Betty's cinnamon rolls than anyone should eat in a week.Then her best friend calls with a job offer in Boise.
