There she falls into a flirtation with moody, gorgeous polo player Alejandro Del Campo. He's troubled by the behavior of his teenaged daughter and trying not to distract himself from the game by pursuing romance; when he hires Georgia after she proves herself better than the alcoholic running the team's stables, he plans to keep it strictly business. But Alejandro ultimately can't keep his hands off her.
