Everyone in Cedar Creek, Texas, has already decided what kind of girl she is before she even steps out of the moving truck. Pink hair. Ripped jeans. Combat boots. Seattle plates. Just another weird Yankee whose parents bought a farm they don’t know how to run. The locals give it two months before she’s begging to move back home. What they don’t know is that she’s been throwing hay bales since she was ten, can mend a fence faster than most grown men, knows exactly how to handle a stubborn horse, and grew up covered in mud on a farm of her own. While the rest of the town is busy laughing at her dyed hair and thrift-store flannels, the county’s golden boy—the rodeo champion every girl wants and every dad approves of—sees something different. He notices the way she settles a spooked horse with one touch. The way she doesn’t flinch when people stare. The way she fits here far better than anyone expected. Unfortunately for him, noticing turns into watching. Watching turns into wanting. And before long, he’s completely, hopelessly hooked on the weird girl from Washington. The town thinks she’s out of place. He thinks she might be exactly where she’s supposed to be.
