Rodeo took him from her once. Will it take him again? It's been a decade since Garth Nash left the Triple R Ranch to become a bull riding star. Now he's back home to pay his final respects to the man he'd loved like a father, and to console the pesky tomboy he'd loved like a little sister. But there's nothing pesky or boyish about Amarilla Ray now. She's a gorgeous, barrel-racing cowgirl who knows exactly what she wants-to compete at the Cowgirl Classic. Just once. And then she can get on with the rest of her life. Rilla had loved Garth like a big brother all those years ago, but today, her feelings are taking turns in a whole new direction, and suddenly it feels like Garth just might be the rest of her life. But rodeo took him from her once. And she knows he's bound to leave again. Can she take the risk and fall in love? Can he? Or will rodeo win out again, and leave them both broken?
