Moving to the Wild West wasn't exactly part of Esra Taner's life plan. . .
But when she drops out of medical school and her brother suggests she join him at Bravetown, the Wild West theme park he works at, she can't find a good enough reason to say no.
Esra happens to fit the costumes for Bravetown's resident damsel in distress, which means she's about to spend the summer being dramatically abducted by Ace Ryder, the lawless cowboy.
Ace is a definite 'yes please' with an evil smirk to make you lose your morals, but the man beneath the costume, Noah Young, seems to hate Esra at first sight – and the feeling is mutual.
Noah and Esra argue their way through every performance.
But as the tension builds, and their futures at Bravetown are put at risk, it doesn’t take long for them to realise the attraction between their characters might not all be for show. . .
