Angela Hathaway's dream is to host a talk show, and every career choice she's made has been to carve out that path. It's a low blow when her boss threatens to fire her if she doesn't get an interview with Austin Mayhew. It gets even worse when Austin only agrees to the interview if she agrees to go frog hunting with him.When the truth is revealed, they are left with a choice - forgive the past, or walk away from a love that started long ago.

Kyle - Kyle Mayhew loves working on his family's ranch, training their award-winning horses and making sure everything runs smoothly. That includes getting the barn roof repaired, and when RJ, a spunky girl ready to prove herself, shows up to work, Kyle knows his life will never be the same. Kyle's plans to own a ranch nearby are shattered when someone offers a much higher bid. Will he fight for his dreams with the help of RJ and his family, or will he move on to greener pastures? Trevor - Wendy Hix has one thing in mind-be the best at barrel racing so she can convince her dad to let her participate in more rodeo events. And even hunky Trevor Mayhew can't get in her way. Trevor loves nothing more than the rodeo, so when he's offered the chance to go on the pro circuit with Stephen Hix and his daughter, Wendy, he jumps at the chance. Can he convince her that life is more enjoyable when sharing it with others, or will he be left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart? Shawn - Shawn Mayhew's rodeo career has taken off, and it would be just perfect if things didn't keep changing back home.

As her blog's popularity grows, Jessica must decide what's more important, the parties and events back home, or the sense of freedom she feels whenever she's with Shawn. Maggie - The Mayhew Ranch is famous for breeding and training the best rodeo horses in the state of Wyoming, and Maggie Mayhew is largely to thank for that. She's always dreamed of riding a bronco, but her family is against it for her safety. Dan Martin runs the Circle T Ranch for his father. When he finds out that Maggie wants to ride Terminator, the biggest, baddest bronco they own, he refuses to let her, but when he sees her determination, he's willing to make a compromise. Sometimes dreams can change along the way - and sometimes we learn that our biggest blessings were right in front of us the whole time.
