Together — Kim Whalen

It's been a decade since Garth Nash left the Triple ranch to become a rodeo star. Now, he's come back to pay his final respects to the man he'd loved like a father, and to console the girl he once considered a pesky tomboy. But there's nothing pesky or boyish about Rilla Ray now. She's a gorgeous, gutsy woman who knows exactly what she wants: to preserve the family ranch by winning big at the Cowgirl Classic, with Garth as her coach.
Rilla got over her secret teenaged infatuation with Garth long ago. But the sexy cowboy still takes her breath away. Rilla knows he'll be riding off into the sunset after the competition. After all, a champion bull rider like Garth isn't likely to trade his rodeo circuit glory for a wife and family, or is he?
