The Cowboy’s City Girl by April Murdock

Their first meeting should have been an enchanting moment. A moment that would always spark fond memories. So why was it ordinary? Could that change how far things could go?
Chance Thackston is making his way on the rodeo circuit. He’s a well known citizen of Sagebrush, Texas and he makes the most of it when necessary. He recently lost his title but gained a stronger relationship with his youngest brother, Logan. Chase is at something of a crossroads. He sees his siblings moving on in various directions and wonders about his place in the world. Despite these concerns, he can still turn on his charm and brashness in equal measures… especially when he encounters a pretty young woman on the streets of Sagebrush.
Kate Benson is a successful event planner. She’s a honey-haired beauty with brown eyes. Based primarily out of Washington, D.C., she’s established herself as “the go-to girl” when a client has an upcoming special occasion. A moment of this sort brings her to Sagebrush, but her initial arrival is far from easy. Meeting Chance starts to alter the course of her journey, and she quickly finds herself drawn to him. But even as Chance seems to reciprocate these feelings, Kate’s true identity followed by her current client’s true intentions threatens to pull the pair apart.
As Logan and Frankie’s wedding plans are coming together, Kate comes face to face with her past. Frankie and Kate have met before and they’re definitely not friends. Sharp words are exchanged and it appears that Kate’s credibility is on the line. She’s angry and mortified.
Chase feels as if he was played. When he turns away, Kate ignores Frankie’s continued accusations and finally catchers up with the older twin. Trying to take his hands, she tells him that Frankie’s confession doesn’t erase the fact that she enjoys his company and isn’t willing to give him up. She admits she had no idea what she was getting into in Sagebrush, hence her annoyance when they first met. The job seemed like an afterthought once she met Chance. She insists that she was already having deep feelings for him. She thought that he understood, but now she sees his true colors.
After their recover from a confrontational meeting and start finding how they are perfect together, all trust is lost. One unfortunate event blew their chance for love out of the water.
Is there a remote chance that barriers can be brought down and that Chance and Kate can actually talk things out? Is there something they’re missing that can help them reconnect and pick up the relationship that was budding?
