Adaline Wells is perfect.
She has perfect grades, a perfect family, perfect friends, a perfect horse. Her day is regimented, organized: conditioning, school, practice, homework. Day in, day out. Her days are shaped by hours at the stable, on and off the saddle, in her tireless quest for absolute perfection in every facet of her life.
Caleb Dorsey is not perfect.
He is a class clown, with less-than stellar grades. He skips class. He gets into fights. A ranch boy at heart, he isn't happy unless he's outside, among cattle, on the back of whatever ragged mount catches his eye.
Adaline and Caleb could not be more different. But, sometimes, fate takes the reins. And, in that case, you need to learn how to fall, in more ways than one.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
*****

However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life.
