After nearly being trampled at a concert hall when a fire broke out, Valerie Wolitzky went from confident and self-assured to scared and skittish. And when a ringing fire alarm sends Valerie into a full-out panic, her friends convince her to seek some professional help. Former CEO Adam Templeton gave up the corporate life to buy a ranch and his horses provide equine therapy for those suffering from PTSD. While not afflicted himself, Adam has his own share of emotional damage from his failed marriage. But when he meets Valerie, he finds himself suddenly ready to get back on the dating horse. Valerie wants to put her faith in this sensitive, gorgeous billionaire cowboy—but her scars may run too deep for her to trust a man again.
