Rancher Roarc Rhynhart needs a housekeeper to care for his small son, Rian. But when newly widowed Mylena Harris arrives at his ranch, he is outraged. She is not what he wanted! She is much too young, too pretty and he has no room in his life for any woman. Mylena needs the job desperately since her husband has just been killed and she is left with no money in this small eastern Colorado town. She must make a go of the job regardless of the autocratic rancher and his accusations that she is flirting with his cow hands. A series of unexplained events take place to cast a shadow on the Rhynhart ranch. Can Mylena be the cause? If so, what can she do?
