RULE #1: Don’t lose focus . . . Barrel racer Alicia Kanani has had a long road to the top—and she’s not quite there yet. Finances have always been tight, and in the glitz-and-glam world of professional rodeo, that means second-best is probably the best she can hope for. With the National Finals coming up, she’s certainly not looking for a pair of cowboys to distract her. RULE #2: Don’t gamble what you can’t live without . . . Playboy Chris Thomas is sure Alicia’s the perfect woman for his level-headed team roping partner, David Greenly. It seems like a match—until Chris realizes he wants Alicia for himself. The stakes have been raised. David and Chris are supposed to be a team, and this time, they’re on opposite sides. Can Alicia rope this playboy’s heart, or will they find themselves too tangled up to let true love in?
