Cody Haskins is a horse trainer trying to forget his mistakes. But Cody’s biggest mistake might be Morgan Westcott’s salvation. Morgan is watching her dream slip away. Burned in love and with no family left to lean on, she is trying to build an equine therapy program from scratch in her little hometown. But it’s hard to get anyone to take her seriously. Help is hard to come by, funding is running low, and the writing is on the wall. And she’s just lost her best therapy horse. Cody is still smarting from his divorce, but he finally has his dream job. He’s risen to become one of the top cow horse trainers in the nation, and now he’s riding for the famous Walker Ranch Brand—the family that took him in when he was a kid. But when an accident leaves a special horse’s future in jeopardy, and lets down the most important people in his life, Cody blames himself. When Cody and Morgan team up to salvage both of their dreams, they discover something they never expected—a second chance at love. But old wounds are slow to heal. Will the disappointments of their pasts keep repeating themselves? Or can two people who never belonged anywhere else find a home together?

She’s always put her dreams on hold. His only dream is her. Kelli Mason never had anything handed to her. Years ago, she had to give up her beloved barrel racing horse, as well as any hope of turning handsome Marshall Walker’s head. Now she’s got a second chance to relive her teenage dreams, but there’s one cowboy standing in her way. Marshall Walker has had his eye on Kelli Mason since high school. There are only two problems. They have nothing in common, and they fight like cats and dogs. And now, the girl of his dreams may have taken things too far by buying a horse he considers dangerous. When Kelli realizes she may be in over her head, she has two choices. Give up, or turn to the one cowboy who can help her: Marshall Walker. And she doesn’t know how to give up. Will they find their way to love at last, or will they strangle each other first?
