She has a lot to prove and won't get distracted by a cowboy again... Barrel racer Ella James Sanders has one goal for her breakout year in Pro Rodeo—to make it to the National Finals Rodeo and prove to her hometown that she's more than a girl raised on the wrong side of town. But her dream quickly crashes when an accident injures her and her horse, ending her rodeo season and leaving her in the care of the man who carelessly broke her heart years ago. Cowboy and veterinarian Ty Hartman knows what it's like to be rejected by those close to him. Ty's loved Ella since high school, but she's rejected him twice so he's resolved to keep his distance and protect his heart...until an accident forces Ella and her horse into his life and he can't step aside. As he cares for the feisty cowgirl, he feels himself falling for her again. Can he convince this cowgirl that not only is he a man she can trust, but that he's also a man she could love?
