This cowgirl's ready to lasso her man. But she'll have to catch him first… Karen Peterson has always known the rodeo was Carson McCall’s first love. When they were teenage sweethearts, he left her brokenhearted to join the rodeo circuit. Now, nine years later, he’s back home at the McCall Ranch, recovering from a bull-riding accident. Karen’s autistic nephew, Devon, wants to learn to ride. She thinks Carson would be the perfect teacher, but he turns her down flat. Until a bar room brawl lands Carson in legal hot water, and Karen convinces the judge to assign him community service… Giving Devon riding lessons. She's just looking out for her nephew. But Carson still makes her heart feel like it’s on a bucking bronco… All Carson wants to do is heal and get back to the rodeo. He hates that he’s not the man he was, and he hates pity even more. The only bright spot in days is the time he spends with Devon—and Karen. She’s still the girl he loved when he was just a kid. Only now, she’s even more beautiful. Then his doctor clears him to rejoin the rodeo circuit. It’s everything he thought he wanted… But could it be the rodeo isn’t the only thing he loves anymore…?
