Clothing designer Jessica Cole has inherited her aunt and uncle's cattle farm. Perfect! She can sell the farm to finance her company's newest venture, a clothing line for children. Then she learns the condition of her inheritance-she must move to the small Texas town where she was raised and run the farm for six months. Since she knows nothing about managing a farm, she's forced to ask for help from the last man she ever expected to meet up with again, her ex-husband Jason Rawlings.

Jason proves to be as ornery as ever. He's in a bind since his housekeeper left town, and needs someone to take her place. He agrees to Jessica's request on one condition: she must become his housekeeper for six months. Imagine, the CEO of a successful business, forced to become her ex-husband's maid! But what choice does she have? She can handle anything for six months, even keeping house for a man she used to love. After all, those old feelings are long dead and buried.

...or are they?
