Serious and quiet, Silas hardly seems like the kind of man who would be out drag racing in the wee hours of the night.
Unwilling heir of her family's multimillion dollar ranching operation, Gladys Lefrak is a daredevil who vows to never settle down. And she loves drag racing - with Silas beside her.
But her twenty-fifth birthday is fast approaching and the conditions of her inheritance state that she must be married by that date.
Her parents have paraded a line of perfectly acceptable, Ivy League educated - and boring - candidates before her, and even a cowboy or two - with degrees. But her heart longs for the steady hand, deep character and calm confidence of the mechanic who has shown her a good time and kept her safe and always gives her something deep to think about.
Maybe he's right and it's time for her to grow up.
Especially when her best friend from college dies and makes her last request a plea for Gladys to take her child.
Gladys can't turn the request down, but she's not about to drive off into the night without the one person who has never steered her wrong.
Can she convince her cowboy dreams are better when they're shared?
