He thought pushing her away would keep her safe. Now he's back, and he's not leaving without her.

CT Trevors made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from Dani West, thinking he was saving her from heartbreak. But when her cousin reaches out, saying Dani needs help with a horse that's suddenly gone skittish, CT sees his chance-a second chance to make things right.

Dani doesn't want his help. She's still smarting from the way he ended things, and the last thing she needs is CT stirring up old feelings. But she knows he's the only trainer for miles who can get her back in the ring.

As they work side by side, secrets from her past trainer come to light, and old wounds start to heal. Dani says they're just working together. CT says he's winning her heart back. She insists she's done with him for good.

But CT's ready to fight for her this time-even if it scares him to death.
