It only took one summer, ten years ago, for Parker Stillwater to steal my heart. Then like the cocky cowboy he was, he never gave it back. Even when he left me in the dust, licking my wounds as I watched him live out our dream from afar. The one where I wasn’t just the small town girl who politely smiled and never made a fuss. The one where he wasn’t just some useless kid who wanted be a champion. What we had was real. 

Until he ruined it. 

But now, the infamous bull rider is back in Mayson Ridge, still handsome as ever, and wearing a tempting smile that still makes my heart skip a beat. But when I find out that he’s back in town to recover after an injury, and I’m the one in charge of his rehab, my guard is stronger than ever. I’m not the same girl that he fooled years ago. He may be the only man I’ve ever loved, but I still had my pride. And the last thing I was giving Parker Stillwater was another chance to break me. 

But the more time we’re forced to spend together, and the more he reveals about the truth of the day he left, the harder it becomes to push him away. He’s here for more than a second chance. But just when we think we can begin to create a new future, life throws us another curveball. When the past comes knocking, I’m terrified that one of our hearts, if not both, will have to break again.
