Adam Campbell returns to his ranch in Riverbend, Texas, after a movie stunt goes wrong, seriously injuring him. He settles in to heal at his family's ranch, where his four brothers train stunt horses and do stunt riding for movies, as Adam had before he'd moved to Hollywood.
He's stunned to find Bailey Farrell working there--Bailey was the shy girl who'd helped Adam graduate from high school so he could run off to be in movies. Except the budding Bailey, with whom Adam had a brief but intense affair, has blossomed into a beautiful woman.
Now Adam is beaten-up, broken-down, and has lost his nerve, since the stunt that injured him killed his best friend. When he's challenged by his rival to a contest of riding feats, the only person he can turn to is Bailey, who helped him once before.
Will Bailey, who has also come to Riverbend to lick her wounds after a life as a software tech in Austin and a painful divorce, be willing to help him again?
