When Sam Jackson returns to settle his uncle's estate, he is confronted by a red head named Lisa O'Neill. She's not his type. She's not a pencil thin city girl floating in a perfume haze.

But he knows that regardless of how attractive she is, he can't let Lisa interfere in his plan to sell his uncle's farm. Sam needs the proceeds from the sale to settle his uncle's debts. Yet, when faced with Lisa's challenging attitude he finds himself seeking out ways to spend time with her, wanting her approval, a woman who challenges him to be a better person.Lisa O'Neill has had a secret crush on Sam Jackson ever since they were in high school.

She knows that the Sam Jacksons of this world only take what they want and leave the rest, and she is determined to stop him from taking the farm. In her quest to do that, she finds a very special group of allies, his uncle's four dogs: Chocolate, Peanuts, Scotch and Soda. But in her haste to stop him, she finds herself once again madly in love with him
