********WARNING SPOILER ALERT**********Danika made a deal to marry a struggling rancher Brandon who in return agrees to pay her father's debts.  Brandon face is heavily scarred and most of the townspeople treat him like a leper.  Danika is the only person who sees past his scars to embrace the man.  Danika's father is a worthless, ungrateful, piece of garbage.  He doesn't appreciate Danika's sacrifice on his behalf and calls her a whore.The money Brandon used to pay off his father-in-law's debts had been ear marked for improvements on his ranch.  To make matters worse his prize bull and other cattle were stolen from him.  Brandon has his suspicions on who's trying to destroy him, but keeps it to himself.Danika settles down to married life like a fish takes to water.  She's always been attracted to Brandon and comes to realize that she's in love with him.  Danika becomes pregnant and gains hope that her marriage to Brandon can become more than just an arrangement.  Brandon opens up about his horrible childhood in Ireland, the accident that scarred his face, and his mother's abandonment.Brandon's ranch suffers more cattle losses, but this time he caught the culprits on camera.  He learns that his father-in-law is involved with the cattle wrestlers and he wants to see him punished with the full extent of the law.  Danika overhears a conversation that Brandon has with another cattleman and demands that Brandon not press charges against her father because she believes her father's  innocence.  When Brandon doesn't agree with her, she tells him he doesn't love her so she leaves him.Danika sneaks back to the ranch to steal a copy of the video footage of the thieves from Brandon's office.  She's so determine to prove her father's innocence no matter what the cost to her marriage.  She comes to find out that her father is a seedy little bastard who has known all along that Brandon has feelings for Danika long before she did.  Her father humiliated Brandon in front of the townspeople claiming that his beautiful daughter would never want a disfigured man like Brandon.Danika recognized one of the thieves in the video as one of her father's ex-employees.  Her father eventually admitted that he is responsible for the first attack on Brandon's ranch and took no responsibility for the thieves' second attack.  Danika's father also admitted that he wished Brandon ill will because he outbid him for the property in which the ranch now resides.Danika takes her father to task, telling him he blames everyone else for his problems.  She cajoles her father into apologizing very politely to Brandon hoping that Brandon loves her enough to forgive her father.  When Brandon decides to press charges against her father anyway, she punishes Brandon and moves all of her things out of the ranch moving back into her father's home.In the end Brandon caves under Danika's demands or he'll be deprived of her and his child.  He shows his love for her by allowing her father and the thieves to get away with their criminal acts.  Then everything becomes unicorns and rainbows.I really liked Brandon.  He isn't a rich rancher lording himself over the little people.  He's an everyday guy who fell for a woman he thought way out of his league.  Never could he image that such a beautiful woman could love a disfigured man like him.  He sacrificed everything because of his love for Danika.I couldn't stomach Danika.  She is totally oblivious to her father evilness and unworthy of Brandon's love.  I found her actions toward Brandon to be unreasonable and unfair.  Love is supposed to be unconditional and she put conditions on her love for Brandon.  Basically, she blackmails Brandon into dropping the charges against her father or she can no longer be his wife.
