When she was a teenager, singer Dakota Dunn was America's Pop Princess. Now, in her mid-twenties Dakota needs an adult persona or will be just another "whatever happened to - - -?" She has not been getting any inspiration in LaLa Land for new songs and/or personality and decides to go to her last remaining asset, Willow Creek Marina and fishing retreat in Tennessee.

Ex-bull-riding champion, cowboy Trace Coleman has been hired by Dakota's parents to manage the marina. Trace's injuries have side-lined him, perhaps permanently, and he just wants to be left alone to lick his wounds. When Dakota shows up, Trace is not a happy camper. There isn't a cabin that is cleaned up for her, since she arrived with no notice, and she is afraid of spiders and mice, and both species are sharing her cabin.

Sierra has been the cook at the lodge for years. Raised motherless with several rowdy brothers, she has always been just one of the boys. When Sierra learns that Dakota wants to go into the country and western field, Sierra makes her a deal -- if Dakota will teach her to be more "girly," Sierra will help Dakota take off her smooth edges. Sierra has been in love with the fishing guide, Grady Green, for years and wants him to see her as a woman. Needless to say, Sierra gets more out of her lessons than Dakota as this city-gal just doesn't know how to let her hair down.
