Melissa Seymour loves Folly, a magnificent thoroughbred stallion whose winnings allow Melissa and her siblings to hang on to their home.

Dominic Slade enjoys wealth and has plans for a stud farm, with Folly being his first purchase.

Melissa refuses to sell. The only way to replace the income earned through Folly is by unlocking her trust fund through marriage.

Neither are interested in marriage.

But as trusted friends and loyal family turn strangely foe, Dominic and Melissa are forced to unite. Now the pair must come to grips with their true passions, or lose it all to a common enemy willing to do anything.
