Reuniting with the cowboy

the long version

A charming cowboy moving in next door shouldn't be bad news. But veterinarian Ally Curtis knows Cody Warren--she'd never forget the boy who left her when she needed him most. Cody is doing everything he can to show his beautiful neighbor he's not the wild bull rider he once was, from helping her find homes for her beloved strays, to protecting her when her business is threatened. But Cody has a secret that keeps him from fully reaching out. Yet as they continue to work together to promote her shelter, he can't keep himself from hoping that Ally might have a home for him in her heart.
