But Jillian discovers she likes Pinton, Arizona, and particularly the town s doctor. In an attempt to thwart her socialite mother s plans to marry her off to a man with a title and money, Jillian declares her engagement to Terrance Mac MacCallister, even though he seems only interested in friendship.

When Jillian s parents show up to meet her fianc�, Mac proposes a marriage of convenience.
