BACK IN THE SADDLE. STRAIGHT TO THE HEART . . . At the Ford family ranch, getting thrown from a horse is a part of growing up. But one cowboy is still learning the ropes when it comes to falling in love. Tanner Ford has been riding bulls and busting broncos his entire life. So when he takes a hard spill--and sustains serious injuries--he refuses to believe his rodeo days are behind him. He's determined to restore his body and revive his career. There's just one problem: the finest physical therapist in town just happens to be the only woman he's ever loved. Lauren Lewis knows she made a huge mistake when she walked away from Tanner. But she was young, ambitious, and focused on her medical career. Now, after all these years, Tanner's back--and, in spite of his injuries, looking better than she allows herself to admit. She agrees to work on Tanner's big bruised muscles until he's back in bull-riding shape again. But how can Lauren resist the smoldering attraction between her and her old flame . . . and will she be able to live without him? Contains mature themes.
