Erin Salcietto focused on one thing--dressage. In high school her horses were her refuge, as an adult they allowed her to do the work she loved, including operating Two Hearts Rescue South in Missouri, the counterpoint to the main Two Hearts Rescue ranch in Wyoming. She hadn't thought about her best friend's brother, high school quarterback turned assistant football coach at the local college, Bryan Dent, but when he shows up at one of her shows, the sparks fly.

Bryan had always wanted Erin, but had thought she was too smart for him. In high school he'd been the jock, coasting by on his good looks and football skills. Now that he was a coach with a winning football team, he'd achieved all his goals--or so he thought. A chance encounter with Erin reignites old flames, and soon, this jock is wondering how he fits into the dressage queen's world.
