A hard-core romance across class and conspiracy. Crown prince Louis of Europe is hunted down by rebels, gravely wounded, and flees to the Texas border — rescued by Luke, the rugged rancher. To save Luke's Morningstar Farm from being swallowed by a ruthless energy company, Louis exploits a loophole in the will and registers a "fake marriage" with Luke. Fighting off killers and striking back at the real puppet master — Louis's rebel uncle — the calculating prince and the untamed cowboy fall for each other in the extreme tension. To eliminate every threat and protect his beloved, Louis returns to Europe, quells the coup — and officially signs his abdication. In the end, he gives up his royal identity and the arranged marriage, returns to the Texas wilderness, puts on the ring Luke hammered from a horseshoe with his own hands — and chooses to live out his life with his cowboy.
