Fallon Hart has landed her dream job--directing the annual melodrama, Miss May's Dilemma. But when Fallon arrives in Pine Ridge, Colorado, she finds her new apartment in flames. To make matters worse, her manager wants her to sing an impossible solo. Her family wants her to give up the theater and join the family jewelry business. And her selfish, controlling ex-fianc wants her back. The biggest dilemma of all, though, is trying to make everyone happy.

Handsome firefighter, Lucas O'Farrell, is searching for his soul-mate, a lady who'll share his love of the mountains, small-town living, and kids. He knows exactly what he doesn't want: a sophisticated city girl like Fallon. But when they are cast as sweethearts in the melodrama, the attraction is hard to deny. Before he realizes it, he's falling for her--hard--and it's possible she's starting to love him, too. But is love worth the risk if the she's planning to return to Denver at the end of the season?
