Not everyone gets a second chance. Parker Brooks was a legendary bull rider. He had become a household name until he suffered a career-ending knee injury. Now he's back home working his family's ranch alongside his brothers. A night out for a celebration flipped his world upside down. A certain young woman who had walked away from him without a word, or an explanation, was working the bar. Maddison King was the only woman he'd been ready to give his heart to. She'd been his everything, and then she'd up and vanished. He'd thought he'd gotten over her, but one look at her luscious curves and killer smile had him realizing otherwise. She's older, more mature, and too damn sexy for her own good. There was no denying the attraction between them. It was just like old times. He deserved to know why she’d packed up and left. She couldn’t run from him forever. When secrets are revealed, Parker and Maddison's worlds explode. Will they be able to survive the past to build a future?

She was his best friend’s sister and should have been off-limits. Rashad Mays was a ranch hand on the Blazing Eagle Ranch. He had grown up in Shady Springs and had no intention of leaving. This was his home, and he was ready to settle down. Only the woman that captured his eye was the sister of his best friend, Nate. There were unspoken rules between friends when it came to their little sisters—don’t touch. Yani Polk was not like other women. She didn’t chase after cowboys for a casual roll in the hay. She was a lady. Sexy, curvy, successful, and currently the star of his late-night fantasies. He’d thought he would be able to push her out of his mind, but when she came strolling onto the ranch, he couldn’t resist. Her smile and the gentle sway of her hips called to him. The sizzling attraction was too great to resist. Rashad did the unthinkable. He broke the rules. Yani was the woman for him, and he was willing to fight to prove it.

It was so easy to piss her off. So he did it frequently, just to get a rise out of her. Wade Brooks lived and breathed the Blazing Eagle ranch. It was in his blood, and raising cattle was all he knew. But when it came down to the girl next door, Joy Whitaker, he knew one thing. He got a kick out of seeing her angry. She was a spitfire and challenged him every chance she got. He’d loved to tame her, but she would fight back. Their families were at odds with each other. The rivalry dated back before either of them was born. Whitakers and Brooks grew up hating each other. A good ol’ country family feud. Until now. One kiss and Wade was willing to bury the hatchet. A taste of her, and he knew she belonged to him. The past didn’t have to drive their future. Or did it?
