Josh Hansen, who has joined his brother, Ryan, at the Kincaid Ranch, encounters Annie's half-sister, Genie, who was Josh's nurse in the hospital where Josh spent a couple of days after a collision with a bull, two summers before. The last person Josh wants to be around is Nurse Ratched, the woman who gave him an ice water bed bath to cool him down, she claimed. And the last person Genie wants to become entangled with, romantically or otherwise, is a rodeo clown. Odds are he'll get busted up, and she knows firsthand what families go through after that.

The problem is, Dimitri's never been around horses. So he joins his sister, Genie, at the Kincaid Ranch where he meets Maddy Hansen, who's visiting her brothers, Ryan and Josh. What first strikes Dimitri when he sees Maddy is that she'd be the perfect magician's assistant... Except that Maddy's a died-in-the-wool ranch girl who loves the great outdoors and hates the thought of so much as setting foot in Las Vegas. But Maddy's also intrigued by Dimitri unusual talent, so when he offers her a job with pay at the Dancing Moon Ranch to get him acquainted with horses for his disappearing horse act, Maddy accepts. What Dimitri doesn't count on is falling in love with a woman, and a way of life, that until then had been alien to him. His transformation from top-hat-and-tails magician to rugged-looking cowboy also has Maddy taking a second look at his Magician's Assistant offer, the prospect of which throws the entire ranch into chaos.
