Jack Watson doesn't want anything to do with the dating scene in Painted Barrel, Wyoming, but when his sister-in-law tricks him into joining a bachelor auction, Jack can't say no to a charity event. As the local accountant, Layla isn't used to being noticed by men. She's sure not the type to bid on a bachelor. But when she shows up at the auction, no one makes an offer for the gruff cowboy. Layla feels bad for Jack and decides he can come help her fix up her house. But as Layla and Jack spend time together, Jack realises that not only can he help around the ranch, he can also help fix her lonely heart.
