Folks always warn that life passes by in the blink of an eye. It's filled with millions of moments, some more memorable than others, each one weaving together to create the tapestry of the legacy you leave behind when your time on this earth is done.

As a bareback bronc rider, I have only one goal: to win enough buckles to compete at nationals or die trying.

Then Daisy Morrison shows up in Rust Canyon and everything changes. My hometown's new schoolteacher captivates me from the minute I lay eyes on her, and suddenly my world is flipped upside down.

Dreams get rearranged, priorities shift, and I begin to wonder if, instead of the glory I've been chasing on the rodeo circuit, Daisy is the prize I've been working toward all along.
