Whoever warned mamas not to let their babies grow up to be cowboys never saw the man in Dr. Rachel Donovan’s waiting room. But good-looking cowboys should come with their own warning – TROUBLE!

At seventeen, Rachel’s illusions about romance were trampled by a rouge cowboy. In the fifteen years since, she steered clear of spurs and Stetsons – until she finds herself roped into chairing the Shady Grove Centennial Rodeo Committee. How will she handle working so closely with the one man in town she most wants to avoid?

Ex-rodeo star Jack Westwood never forgot his unrequited teenage fascination for Rachel Donovan, but now that he’s back in town, he barely recognized the woman she’s become. Jack can’t help but wonder…Is the feisty cowgirl he remembers still there beneath the shutter exterior.

When a secret from long ago comes knocking Rachel fights to maintain her sterling reputation. But can the woman who has devoted her life to healing others allow God to mend her own hurts? Will she seize the opportunity to reconcile with her own past and open her heart to love again?

Christine Lynxwiler lives with her husband and two daughters in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in her home state of Arkansas. Her greatest joy is her family and aside from doing God’s will, spending time with them in her top priority.
