She needs to recover, but how can she rest with her family's ranch in peril? Recent Second Chance, Idaho, arrival Bentley Monroe offers help, and his quiet strength makes her feel safe. Loving him could heal her wounds, but would she have a future with this family man?
PROLOGUE
DON’T BE SHY, they said.
They being the Diaz family, encouraging Cassie Diaz to be brave.
Stick to horses, they said.
They being Cassie’s brother and grandfather.

History was about to be made by both of them. And hopefully, she’d add to her footnote in history by winning a much-needed purse.
Cassie lowered herself on Tornado Tom’s broad, muscular back, and nodded toward the cowboy operating the gate.
