Felicity Duncan has had a crush on Jack Taylor since she was a teenager. She follows the rodeo because of him. When she finds out he’s in her cousin’s wedding, she’s beside herself with nerves and excitement.

Jack knows who his best friend’s cousin is, but he’s never really paid attention to her. He remembers her as just a kid. Now that she’s all grown up, he’s taken by surprise at how she’s changed. No longer the awkward teenager, she’s a stunner with a serene nature that draws him to her.

When they’re paired up in the wedding party, they’re both quietly excited. When the wedding party is asked to join the bride and groom on the dance floor, Felicity is rigid with fear. She can’t dance at all. He promises to take the lead and that everything will be okay. She stomps on his feet the whole dance. She’s beyond embarrassed.

And then when she apologizes, he just disappears. She has no idea what set him off or why he’d be gracious and kind one minute and avoid her the next. He’d told her he was planning to be at the ranch for the entire holiday. So was she. This was going to be a long holiday if her biggest crush avoided her like the plague just because she’d stepped on his toes. Literally.

But things aren’t always be as they seem. Is it possible Jack is avoiding her for a reason she has no idea about?
