Blake Malone is an investigative journalist who travels the world. He usually only beds his women. He has rules though: Never take advantage of vulnerability, and never start something you won't be around to follow up on. Blake has a big, adventurous life and a cool city apartment. He has it all figured out and under control until he arrives at Kangaroo Crossing to investigate the legend of a desert grave. There he meets country girl Madeline - and can't stomach the idea of another man ever kissing her. Madeline Thompson is pretty, sweet, and an accomplished business manager running her grandparents' cattle property on the edge of the desert. She's thinking about trying on-line dating sites to find a man who might be prepared to make a life out back with her. Madeline is lonely and very much in need of attention when big-city reporter Blake Malone happens along, with his cool sunnies and his swanky hairdo.
