Let me paint you a picture. It's early summer. The sky out west is enormous and gold. There's a rescue animal centre being built on a mountain, and somewhere on the property there's a tattooed, brooding, Irish rugby player trying very hard not to look at the one woman he absolutely cannot afford to look at.

But he needs the money, because the family farm is on the line, and sometimes you do the hard thing not because it's easy but because you love something more than you love your
