Izzy’s horses.Izzy’s future relies on Dylan becoming the rancher he never planned to be. As she puts him through his paces, competitive sparks—and something even more sizzling—fly. And stolen moments amongst the haystacks start to feel like a new beginning for both of them.But when Dylan gets a chance to rejoin the world of football, the hope in Izzy’s heart flatlines.
