Cynthia Kent is a burden. She's tried to help her sister and brother-in-law, but most of her efforts have ended up in disasters of varying degrees. She's depended on their charity for too long and it was high time she started taking care of herself. But how?

Tyler Shelton is a widower with two young children. As the sheriff, raising two children alone while handling his important job has pushed him to the breaking point. He's taken everything one day at a time, but his family is suffering and they need help. Tyler is used to giving help to others, but not asking for it. Struggling as a father, he makes sure his job as sheriff doesn't suffer even though his children do.

Cynthia finds joy in a job she never thought she'd ever have. She doesn't really like children, so how Sheriff Shelton's children stole her heart is a mystery. Even though a courtship is unlikely, she starts falling for the handsome and brave hero of the small Nebraska town. The sheriff is too busy keeping law and order while waiting for a notorious bank robber who is rumored to be on his way. Too much is on the line for Tyler Shelton to take his attention away from his job when life and livelihoods are on the line. Can these two people in need be an answer to prayer for each other? Will God give them the patience and strength to get past each other's flaws to find true love?
