Will it be winner take all in this battle of hearts? A rising star at Kansas City's internationally acclaimed Royal Fountain Media, Emma agrees to personally oversee the marketing and fundraising campaign for Resolution Ranch.

When a moment of carelessness threatens to shut down the fundraiser before it starts, Sterling will put everything on the line to protect Emma's reputation. Will it be enough to win Emma's heart for good? Or will the fallout be the ruin of Resolution Ranch?
