Miranda works with her family in their auction house. While selling items for a family a painting goes up on the auction block and is sold that wasn't to be there. When the family that was selling the item threatens to ruin them if the painting is nor ruined, Miranda's grandfather purchases an auction house at a ridiculously low price in belief the painting is there. Imagine their surprise when they get there that the auction house doesn't sell priceless antiques but rather cattle!

While Miranda's grandfather tries to "get rich" scheme with several different people, Miranda tries her best to learn what she can about selling cattle and between her and Wyatt they try to keep her grandfather out of trouble.
Through it all with Wyatt learn the truth about why they are they? Will Miranda and Wyatt form an unlikely partnership? When Wyatt does learn the truth what happens to their relationship?
While I have read some other of Regina Jennings' books. I did not find this one as good as the others. It was very difficult to get into and I found it to be uninteresting. It wasn't until near the end of the book that I found it to be getting exciting and that the book was moving along. I feel like this book could have had more excitement in it and that it could have moved faster at the start of the story.
