8 Seconds to Love — Paty Jager

The guy bull rider Lacey Wallis had a crush on when she was thirteen is back in her life and trying his darnedest to make her give up on the bulls and get her adrenaline rush from him.

Lacey Wallis has put blood, sweat, and tears into her dream of making it to the National Finals Rodeo and isn't about to let an injury stop her. However, she didn't expect the ER nurse to be the man she had a crush on years ago, or to discover that crush hadn't been one-sided.
Jared McIntyre lived through loving and the death of one thrill-seeking woman, and wasn't about to let that happen again. Especially not to Lacey. But that would mean he'd have to allow himself to love again.
Which will it be, a life-long dream, or the love of a lifetime?
