To attain his dream of becoming a World Champion bull-rider, Kade Vaughn must ride the bad one they call Swamp Fox. But in two previous rides, the big bull's given Kade two disqualifications and a severe concussion. Now the cowboy's on a forced vacation at his friends' ranch, near the little town of East Hope, Oregon. It's all fine and dandy till the day he walks into the diner and comes face to face with a temptress in a Cleopatra wig. One who looks a lot like the girl he left behind, and who he'd give nearly anything to have back in his arms. To get through each day, Pansy Lark pretends to be other women through cosplay. Famous, strong women who took what they wanted from life, instead of the other way around. Once she was a champion barrel racer with a bright future, and a cowboy she loved. She lost it all, leaving her with the driving need to prove she's not that weak girl anymore. But when Kade walks back into her life, she must decide if real strength is in forgiveness. Can sweet cowboy kisses heal her wounded heart?
