Bella North, the daughter of a wealthy rancher, is facing a terrible dilemma. Her father, in a mistaken bid to make his daughter happy, arranges for her to marry a man she has known all her life as her "uncle." While the man is charismatic and interesting, he is much older than her and Bella can't figure out for the life of her why he would agree to the union in the first place. When a caring and charming doctor enters her life like a hurricane, it suddenly becomes clear to her that she cannot afford to lose what seems like true love. Even though her father is insistent, she knows she must avoid this marriage at any cost. Can Bella find a way out of the situation before it's too late?
Meanwhile, Dr. Pace Carlisle is the physician of the little town in the southeastern part of Texas. He has been living there for ten years and at the age of thirty-four, he has come to terms with his slim prospects for marriage. He hasn't really thought about it much though, as his practice has always taken up a great deal of his time. Unbeknownst to him, the love he has been seeking is right there in his town, waiting for him to discover the riches of what could lie ahead for him. When a terrible accident brings the beautiful Bella to his home and he happily tends to her wounds, a warm feeling he thought he had long lost, emerges. Will he seek it out and cherish it before it disappears? Or will he kneel to her father's wishes for her to marry another?
When Bella and Pace cross paths, they realize their meeting is not just a random coincidence. The two might seem an unlikely couple, but love doesn't wait for people to make up their minds. Bella and Pace will face a hard battle against a determined father who has a deep-seated hatred for doctors after a tragic event that shook his family to the core. Can Bella and Pace change her father's mind? Or will they have to make the hard choice of giving each other up and lose a once-in-a-lifetime love forever?
