A fading rodeo star returns to the family ranch—and finds the spark of love—in this western romance by the New York Times bestselling author. Professional rodeo cowboy “HW” Morgan achieved his dream of competing in the national rodeo finals—but his career came at a price. His twin brother wants nothing to do with him and a string of hookups haven’t warmed his bed. When he loses to a younger competitor, he knows it’s time get his head on straight—and the only place to do that is at home, if his family will have him. Army veteran Samantha Kelly isn’t sure that her visit to Morgan Ranch is a good idea. Struggling to rehab from an injury, she’s willing to give anything a try—even equine therapy. But it doesn’t help that her riding instructor is bold, brash, and distractingly easy on the eyes. As she and HW warily try to work each other out, slowly and surely an unbreakable trust is built—one on which dreams can be built. “If you love cowboys—and who doesn’t—you’ll love the Morgans!”—Cora Seton, New York Times bestselling author
