She has secrets. He's obsessed. Can he convince her to saddle up with him before the storm hits?

Hiding from her past, Sage Pardy is determined to keep everyone at arm's length—especially the charming bull rider who won't take no for an answer. He may be funny and sweet with an ass that can make even an ice queen weep, but he's persistent, unwilling to accept rejection, and claims her dog as theirs as if they share some sort of custody agreement.

Christian Riggs is bound and determined to win a buckle and the heart of his best friend's sister, the closed-off bartender with walls as high as the sky. He knows beneath her hard exterior, she wears scars like a shield to protect her heart. But he may be just the one to win her trust.

When her past walks into the bar in a shearling coat and thousand-dollar caiman boots, Christian does the only thing he can think of to protect her: claim her as his. With their small town no longer safe, and a championship in Vegas, Sage has no choice but to "saddle up" with him. The only problem is the ring and paperwork feel a little too real. But it's the least of her worries, because a storm is about to roll in.
