Introverted and insecure, Jody Colton would rather not deal with the world, or the betrayals that come with caring too much. But when she sees Cowboy, the horse stolen from her, in a slaughter pen, she'll stop at nothing to save him. Joe Roberts was on top of the rodeo world until a bronc named Cowboy ended his career. Appalled that the former Bucking Horse of the Year is in a kill pen, Joe plans to say goodbye to Cowboy and move on-until Jody ropes him into a wild plan to save Cowboy. Neither Jody nor Joe want commitment. They just want to save Cowboy. But when attraction and desperation morph into stronger feelings, can they risk the one thing they both blame for destroying them-can they risk love?
