Someone is using superstition to cause trouble on the rodeo circuit. An upside down horseshoe made Tabby Swanson's skin crawl, but it wasn't enough to keep her from training her prize horse, Tenterhook, for barrel racing so she could get a sponsorship. When Kasper Dobbs shows up the ranch, she's intrigued and hopeful. The handsome businessman, and former local hockey star, has deep pockets. It doesn't hurt that he's devastatingly handsome and makes her heart pound in her chest more than barrel racing. It almost makes her forget about the strange happenings on the ranch until someone turns up dead, and she and Tenterhook suffer a near fatal accident in competition, threatening her rodeo days forever. Kasper knows Tabby's fall was no accident. Being told you may never compete again is a fate he knows well. He won't let Tabby give up and insists on getting her back into training as soon as he can. But how can he know if whoever caused her accident will try again? He calls the Knight brothers to investigate the mysterious death and strange happens surrounding Tabbyso they can catch whoever is responsible before she takes another fall. He wants to believe he's doing it all in the name of business. But he's fallen hard for the cowgirl whose sunshine smile makes him want more than just to ride again. He wants the girl for life!
