When the past comes knocking...
Owen Crawford vows to return to active military duty after he's injured by a bomb that also killed his childhood best friend. Sent home to Texas to heal and facing possible forced retirement from Special Forces, Owen's on borrowed time. He needs a miracle, and the best physical therapist in town is his high school sweetheart, who's never forgiven him for leaving.
Carly Maddux can almost taste freedom. She'd promised her dying mother that she'd raise her baby brother and now that he's a senior in high school, Carly can't wait to resign as director of the Equestrian Therapy program her mother founded and leave Service Texas far behind. And then Owen arrives, injured, humbled but still hotter than ever, convinced she can make him whole.
She's definitely saying no. She's spent her entire life sacrificing her dreams for others. But then one hot kiss from Owen has her rethinking her dreams, and who's in them.
