Sophia Hollingsworth’s ditched her cheating fiancé and is determined to enjoy her honeymoon – alone. But instead of the five-star accommodations she’s expecting, she finds herself at an Argentine guest ranch with a handsome gaucho for company. It’s nothing like the all-inclusive she’d imagined, but she’s determined to stick it out and make a first step in reclaiming her life.
When the socialite in stilettos mistakes Tomas Mendoza for a handyman, he doesn’t correct her mistake. After all, he’s a silent partner in the estancia, and he’s not into sharing the personal details of his life – especially his reasons behind leaving Buenos Aires and retreating to the pampas. He can put up with one spoiled princess for a few days.
But before long, Tomas sees beneath Sophia’s designer labels and realizes what a beautiful, strong-willed woman she is. Being with her starts to heal Tomas’s broken heart, and he finds himself falling in love with her. But how can they possibly be together when her life is a continent away?
