Linhart, Texas is a quiet small Hill Country town. At least it used to be quiet; then New York City private investigator Sydney Baines of Baines and Baines arrives looking for Russ Klein, owner of the general store. She explains she tracks down heirs of lost money for a fee. His biological father Sammy Oberlin left him $10 million.

Russ is not interested in the money and though he would love a fling with the big city slicker, he wants her to leave. He fears that if his mom, Sammy's widow, learns about the inheritance she would rush back to Las Vegas and her gambling addiction would explode. Sydney tries to persuade him with her assets to collect his assets so she can earn her finder's fee of 10%, as her family desperately needs the money. They fall in love in spite of their differing opinions..

The key to this amusing tale is Sydney's frustration and attraction to ONE STUBBORN TEXAN, who does not want the money that she can obtain for him. The changing relationship seems off kilter, as the lead couple each has family problems but to their credit neither welcomes the feelings of love at this time. Fans will enjoy Kara Lennox's lighthearted romp.
