Eden Maxwell is the only daughter of Texas rancher Jake and his wife Isabelle. Her parents adopted 11 orphans and what they called strays over the years so Eden was raised to be a rough and tumble Texan. One day a stranger rode into the ranch and informed Isabelle that he is her father and an English Earl. Jake, Isabelle and Eden go with the Earl to England for a visit. Eden is soon very taken with the Earl's heir Edward. When she learns a secret about him she tells him never thinking about the consequences of what she had done. Edward leaves without saying goodbye to anyone.
Eden and her parents go back to Texas and she worries that she has ruined Edward's life and that she will never see him again. Shortly after returning to Texas mysterious things start to happen at the various family ranches and the "boys" can't determine why it is happening or who is doing it. Eden is sent by her parents to stay with 2 of her sister in laws who are having difficult pregnancies. To her surprise she finds Edward is working for 2 of her brothers and has brought his thoroughbred horse Crusader with him from England and is preparing the horse to race in the same big annual race that Eden plans to participate in with her mare. Edward wants to win the money so he can buy a ranch and prove to Eden that he is worthy of marriage even though they have never spoken of love or marriage. When someone deliberately injures Eden's horse the family realizes that Eden is the target of what ever is happening at the various ranches. Lots of suspense as the family works together to determine who is behind the evil. At the same time Edward and Eden are falling in love even though he is hesitant to express his feelings. A happy ending does happen but it was an interesting journey for them to get there.
