Now, only five years after her brother's accident, she can't hide from the grief, the people, or the guilt that she's been running from. GAVIN MONTGOMERY didn't plan for his life to be this way. He didn't ask to be stuck with a pile of debt, the responsibility of a failing family business, or a little brother with a drinking problem. But when his dad died nine months ago, Gavin had no choice but to step up and take care of his family, even if that involved hiding the truth from them: that they're about to lose everything. When Blake reluctantly agrees to attend a charity "date auction" at the local townie bar, she figures supporting the family of her late brother's best friend is the right thing to do. Only Gavin is no longer the sweet young boy she remembers, and when he challenges her to ride the mechanical bull in front of the whole town, what choice does she have but to saddle up. But getting back in the saddle might be a mistake. Because even if she's an expert rider, there's no way in hell she's letting that cowboy hold the reins. Will Blake and Gavin find a way to work through their grief and ride off into the sunset? Or will they be over faster than an eight-second ride?
