Her boots were made for walking... Drifter Delaney Shields plans to breeze through Prophecy, Texas, before setting off on an around-the-world trip of a lifetime. She never expects to see sexy-as-sin Cal Maddox, the man she ran out on a decade ago. One look between them and their past attraction reignites, flaming hotter than ever. But acting on it would be disastrous because she's not the sticking kind, and Cal has roots a mile deep. Cal Maddox left the military only to find the health of his dad and his hometown both failing. When Delaney walks into his father's custom boot shop, she spurs emotional memories and sexual fantasies Cal has no business indulging in. Especially once he realizes that she's the next Prophecy bootmaker, the only person who can design custom cowboy boots with the power to change a person's destiny. But if fanning those old flames will keep her in Prophecy, he's willing to take the heat, even if it means keeping secrets and risking his heart again. Duty and desire throw Cal and Delaney together, but will their feelings be strong enough to forge a new bond? Or will they destroy their second chance at love?
