Publisher's Synopsis
Rising rodeo star Nate O'Neill never expected to be living in a small Nebraska ranching town waiting for his rodeo brother to recover from a vicious ride. His unplanned stop steers him into the arms and bed of local celebrity, Tennessee Reed. Soon he questions what thrills him more-the rodeo or Tenn. Forced to face his reckless past, he's reminded that relationships can cause damage far worse than any bull ride ... and maybe he's headed for the same suffering again. Professional football draft-pick Tennessee Reed returns home emotionally shattered by the unexpected passing of his father who left Tenn with a hereditary secret buried in his chest. He might be dying inside, but when Nate walks into his life all Tenn's troubles seem to disappear into those hazel eyes and he's never felt more alive. Will Tenn follow the cowboy wherever life leads? Or will he protect his heart and watch those fringed leather chaps ride away?
