Story

Scarlett, a modern woman, wakes up in 1958 and finds herself wed to a rugged rancher she never chose. She refuses to play the victim and uses modern wits to guard her stepchildren, box the ears of villains, and unmask a fake heiress. Her supposedly poor husband turns out to be a billionaire and an elite veteran. Between flying axes and a rushed wedding night, their life together is anything but dull.
