But what would she want in a guy who was abandoned by his father and has a mother who is an alcoholic? If he's ever going to be seen in a different light by Lacy, he needs greater financial security than what a ranch-hand position provides.

She's about to move on when Clint learns a secret related to his own life that changes everything.
