Cowboys Don't Cry

Stereotypical cowboy. That's who I am. Just as quiet as I am tough. Just as broody as I am sturdy. Aloof.

Truthfully, it's the only way I know to protect myself; my heart. To escape the tragedy of my youth.

Enter Mel McNeill. One night with her and all of my walls disintegrate before my very eyes. She's hot. Sweet. Sassy. Smart. Everything I've ever wanted.

Which is the precise reason that I run.

The last woman I let into my heart broke me. I won't go through that again. I like my life just the way it is.

So, why can't I get her out of my head? Why can't I leave her in the past with all of the other ghosts? Why is it when both of our lives implode, I find myself unable to walk away?

In the face of the unknown, we'll discover if we're strong enough to face it together, or if the uncertainty left behind by the actions of others will tear us apart forever…
