What happens when the man you've always wanted becomes the one you're not allowed to have?

Colt Campbell is the golden boy of Gold Valley. A champion bull rider with charm, talent, and a dangerous streak that's always gotten him what he wants—until the day everything changed. After a near-fatal accident leaves him broken and bitter, Colt finds himself back home, facing the possible end of his career and a long road to recovery.

He needs care. He doesn't want it. And the last person he ever expected to be taking care of him is Allison Lane.

His stepsister. His best friend's little sister. The one person in his life who doesn't seem quite as impressed with him as everyone else.

Allison has spent years trying to forget the feelings she once had for Colt. Hating him was easier than wanting someone she could never have. But now, as a nursing student tasked with helping him heal, she's stuck by his side day after day—and the lines they swore not to cross start to blur.

The attraction between them is undeniable. But Colt has always lived for the ride. And when he's ready to leave again, Allison will have to decide if she's brave enough to fight for a love that was never supposed to happen.

A forbidden, slow-burn, small-town romance with a cocky bull rider and the stepsister who loves him.
