This is a western romance, she is a nanny who goes to help a single man with his three children she was brought up proper and the children are very rough scaring her with animals and stuff in her belongings or bed(I think) then in the school house he saves her from a animal I forgot and scares her by saying that they will eat it for dinner but she declines making him somewhat angry thinking she is a prude\. During a storm they share a intimate night then after a while they get married but the drought is so bad that he sends her and the children to his sisters/aunt to be safe. After a while they all think he is dead after a bad drought/storm and she doesn't believe it so she goes to look for him.
