When Francie Bennett's father is diagnosed with dementia and she discovers she's pregnant by her cheating ex-boyfriend, she leaves college to help take care of her ailing father and have her baby.
Matt Richardson lost his father and wife to preventable accidents and will do whatever it takes to keep his daughter safe, even forbidding her life's passion -- riding horses. When his mother sneaks Chloe to a riding lesson, Matt feels like he's lost control, and there's nothing he hates worse.
Eventually, Matt gives in and allows Chloe to take riding lessons but only under one condition: he's always there. Unfortunately, nothing has ever affected his feeling of being out of control worse than falling for the fiery, red-haired riding instructor whose life revolves around horses.
As her father worsens and her due date nears, Francie is determined to prove she can handle everything by herself, even if that means keeping the man she cares about at a distance. But when Francie's life takes a dangerous turn, will she let Matt in and allow him to help her? And will the power of love be strong enough for Matt to finally overcome his deepest fears?
