When country singer Chase Warner’s father dies, he finally realizes he’ll never impress the man who raised him and hangs up his guitar for good.

When his friends take him to the local tavern to celebrate his birthday, Chase agrees to sing one song for old times... moreWhen country singer Chase Warner’s father dies, he finally realizes he’ll never impress the man who raised him and hangs up his guitar for good. Soon after he moves to North Dakota and signs on as a derrick hand, he learns that an honest day’s work bringing oil from the earth gives him far more satisfaction than performing ever did. When his friends take him to the local tavern to celebrate his birthday, Chase agrees to sing one song for old times. When he looks out into the audience, he finds himself staring at a rockabilly dream come true: blue eyes, blond curls and sweet curves in the kind of dress just made to show them off. Nashville talent scout Regina McCary is taking a forced “vacation” after a bad breakup when she stumbles on the voice she’s sure will take her career to the next level: the smoldering, if slightly drunk, man singing in a North Dakota honkeytonk isn’t just talented but gorgeous, too. Regina is sure she can package and promote the reluctant singer - but soon she realizes she wants Chase for far more than a client. less

When Caryn Carver’s socialite mother breaks the news that Caryn’s biological father is dying, she decides to travel from New York City to North Dakota to meet the man who abandoned her as a baby. All she knows about Buddy Travers is that he never once tried to contact her, and he owns a bar in the middle of nowhere. One problem: how to elude the paparazzi who constantly hound Caryn and her family? A hasty home makeover turns out badly, but at least it disguises Caryn so she can make the trip. She locates her bio-dad’s bar and even lands a job as a waitress, all the better to get to know Buddy, but there’s no sign of him—and all of her possessions are stolen before the end of her first shift. Lawyer-turned-oilman Zane Olivo is perfectly content to let other guys make commitments, while he stays on the sidelines. Getting involved has never worked out well for him. While attending his roommate’s bachelor party at Buddy’s Tavern, he’s accosted by a surly waitress with a bad haircut and a worse disposition. But when a momentary lapse of judgment spurs him to be a Good Samaritan, he’s got a beautiful troublemaker on his hands for the long wedding weekend.
