This cowboy left her behind to chase glory. But now that an injury has brought him home, can he prove to his first love that some dreams are worth giving up?

Hunter Carlson has made some pretty big mistakes in his life, including leaving Pine Creek -- and Alyssa Morgan -- to chase the rodeo circuit. He told himself it was the right choice, that following his dream was what mattered most. But eight seconds of glory never filled the void she left behind.

Now a career-ending injury has brought him back to his family's ranch for good, and he's trying to figure out who he is without the roar of the crowd. The one thing he knows for sure? He never stopped thinking about the girl he left in pieces.

Alyssa Morgan has built a life in Pine Creek without Hunter Carlson in it. She's stronger now, smarter, and she's definitely not the heartbroken girl who watched him ride away all those years ago.

So when Hunter shows up at the ranch next door, she tells herself the flutter in her chest means nothing. She's moved on. She's over him.

But as their paths keep crossing and old sparks reignite, Alyssa finds herself wondering if maybe the cowboy who broke her heart has finally grown up enough to keep it.

After all, some rides last eight seconds. But some love is meant to last forever.
