Publisher Description
The last thing ranch cowboy Stetson Major needs while he's taking care of his momma is for her to forget that he's no longer part of a couple. With her Alzheimer's, though, that's exactly what happens. So he sucks up his pride and calls his ex to ask for a pretty big favor.
Curtis Traynor is Stetson's one who got away, a rodeo cowboy with itchy feet who just couldn't stay. When Stetson calls, Curtis feels all the old emotions he thought he'd left behind, and he can't say no to helping out with Momma. He still loves her too.
The two men couldn't be more different, Stetson married to his Taos ranch, Curtis a thrill-seeker who has to hit the road. Will these two grasp their second chance romance, or will they miss out on the softest place there ever was to fall?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Good ol' cowboys, loss, and lust more powerful than a bucking bronco are at the heart of this tender romance from Tortuga (Stetsons and Stakeouts). Stetson Major's dying mother, who has Alzheimer's, keeps asking why rodeo star Curtis Traynor isn't visiting her, having forgotten that he and Stetson broke up eight years earlier. Stetson reluctantly calls his former lover, though they hadn't spoken since their breakup. Curtis quickly agrees to visit, and when he arrives at the hospital in Santa Fe, he's shocked to see how old and broken-spirited Stetson's become and how quickly his feelings for his ex resurface. Curtis stays as long as he can, and the two make plans for Curtis's return at Christmas, but then tragedy strikes. The wrenching emotions around Stetson's complicated relationship with his mother are balanced by his supportive neighbors and some quirky friends, together with Curtis's unwavering support. This potentially somber cowboy story has plenty of heart and humor.
