description: Do you believe in destiny?
  
  Guest-ranch manager Madison Carter certainly does. Abandoned as a small child, she knows little of her past but is convinced that uncovering it will lead her to healing and home. On a journey of self-discovery to the town where she was born, she meets Lacey McAlpine. The self-assured, straight-talking entrepreneur Lacey is blessed with loving family and friends and has always shaped her own destiny -- or so she believes.
  
  The sparks fly almost immediately, but the women's contrasting personalities and what Lacey perceives as Madison's secretive nature keep them from igniting -- just yet. Their friendship deepens to passionate romance, however, when Madison moves into town to open her own guest ranch -- and begins to open up about herself.
  
  A lock without a key, a box of childhood treasures and a scruffy white horse begin to illuminate Madison's shadowed past. Despite her Miss-Fix-It attitude, Lacey will soon learn that it will take a little destiny to repair a broken soul.
