One Hour of Love

Jerry McKay is the quintessence of 1920s privilege, a society girl whose boredom is as vast as her father’s estate. On the precipice of a marriage of convenience, she ventures into the rugged terrain of her father’s property, only to collide with James Warren, a man whose engineering of the land is matched by his rigid moral architecture. When Jerry’s reckless display of marksmanship earns her a rebuke rather than the adoration she expects, she pivots to a high-stakes game of manipulation. She wagers her friends that she can bend Warren to his knees and extract a proposal within a week. What begins as a cynical exercise in ego transforms into a genuine emotional awakening, but the architecture of her lie threatens to bury the very connection she fought to build. It is a story of a woman who finds her soul only after she risks losing the man she finally respects.
