Weston is a happy-go-lucky cowboy who is delighted to discover that the mystery woman from the bar is the interior designer for his family's ranch project. Despite his optimism, Ada makes it clear that she wants nothing beyond a professional relationship. As they work together on the ranch, Ada's walls prove challenging to break down, and both must navigate their growing feelings while maintaining their focus on the project.
