Just in time her future husband shows up and they immediately get off on the wrong foot. Along with that she also has no clue as to what will be expected of her as a rancher’s wife.

She can hunt and fish and break horses and many other things. Can she love? Only time will tell if these two strong spirits can get along without destroying any chances of a relationship.
