"Dusty Walker is a soft-spoken cowboy who never stopped dreaming about the first girl he ever loved. He never felt worthy of her and she hardly notices him, but could he be the one cowboy she can learn to trust?
Jess Thompkins is a former rodeo queen who returned to her hometown to take care of her widowed father. Once, she had it all—she was popular and beautiful, and a brilliant career was hers for the taking. Now she's settled with her dog, her home, and her humble job as a mechanic, but she longs for something that's always been out of reach. All she wants is a quiet life and real love, but the only men who notice her see her looks and not her heart.
Dusty Walker has a secret. A poet at heart, there are things he hasn't told his family. Bashful and more comfortable with his dogs than the limelight, women usually notice his older brothers instead of him. But when Austen Conrad, the rich new rancher in town discovers Dusty’s hidden talents, he asks for his help to woo beautiful Jess Thompkins. The trouble is, Dusty has been in love with Jess for years, and she barely knows he exists. Dusty agrees, because he'd do anything to see her happy—even if it means she'll fall in love with someone else.
Jess begins to fall for the heartfelt words that keep finding their way to her, but she's torn between her hopes that she's finally found The One, and the nagging feeling that there's more to her mysterious poet than meets the eye. As Dusty struggles with his loyalty to Austen and his own feelings for Jess, he becomes determined to prove to her that he's the one cowboy who will always be there for her. But will Jess give him a chance, or will she always see him as the quiet cowboy she's always overlooked?"
"Marshall Walker is a cowboy determined to protect his ranch and his family at all costs—even if it means shoving aside his feelings for Kelli Mason, the girl he's never been able to forget. A second chance with her is all he's ever wanted... If they can stop fighting long enough to fall in love.
Ten years ago, Kelli Mason put her dreams on hold to support her family, sacrificing her passion for barrel racing and giving up any chance of winning over the ruggedly handsome Marshall Walker. But now she has a second chance to chase that rainbow and maybe even reignite their teenage flame. Kelli is determined to make her dreams a reality, even if it means going head-to-head with the one man who has always stood in her way.
Marshall promised himself he'd never marry unless he found a woman who loved his ranch like he did. He's had a crush on Kelli since they were in high school, but they're just too different and they can't stop arguing about it. When Kelli buys a horse that Marshall considers dangerous, he knows the only way to keep her safe is to talk her out of this madness. But she's just as stubborn as he is, and when she refuses to back down, their rivalry reaches a boiling point.
As Kelli fights to prove herself and pursue her dreams, she realizes that the only person who can help her succeed is the one man she's always been at odds with: Marshall. But with their tumultuous past and opposing views, can they finally find common ground and a love that has always been just out of reach? Or will they be forced to choose between their dreams and the kind of love they've always longed for?"
