Best friends wrangle troubled teens, a friendly rodeo competition, and their newfound feelings for one another in Madsen’s rowdy second Turn Around Ranch romance (after A Cowboy Never Quits). In Silver Springs, Colo., rancher Tanya Greer falls for her best friend and neighbor, Brady Dawson, but can’t find a way to share her feelings. Brady, who helps runs Turn Around Ranch, his family’s rehabilitation center for troubled teens, returns Tanya’s feelings, but after a botched attempt to make things romantic years ago, he’s wary of crossing the line. Tanya’s parents still treat her like a child, denying her real responsibility on the ranch, so when she gets a job offer that would require her to relocate to the city, she strongly considers it—and the opportunity forces her and Brady to confront their emotions or risk losing each other forever. Meanwhile, love blooms between bad boy Maddox, the newest teen arrival to Turn Around Ranch, and good girl Harlow, the ranch’s youngest employee. Tanya and Brady have a fairly easy transition from friends to lovers, leading the teens’ more tumultuous romance to consistently steal the show. Both rollicking and sweet, this is sure to please fans of cowboy romance. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency.
