   Summary

   Shane Hollander is Canada’s golden boy of hockey — disciplined, media-trained, and permanently scheduled down to the minute.

   So when his parents surprise him with a “relaxing” vacation at a Texas dude ranch, he’s less than thrilled.

   Dust. Cattle. Sweltering heat.

   And then there’s Ilya Rozanov — ranch hand and all around horse/cattle/dog whisperer.

   Somewhere between mending fences, learning to ride, and getting thoroughly outmatched by a man in cowboy boots, Shane discovers that maybe there’s more to life than hockey.

   And maybe falling in love was never part of the plan — but Texas heat does strange things to a man.
