As far as the rodeo world's concerned he's retired and living happily on his ranch. But he can't let it go. Needing time to work his way back in, he's been rodeoing far from home, in unfamiliar events, and under the name Bill Johnson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, to keep from being outed just as he's making progress, he has to take Reggie into his confidence. But even after all these years he knows her too well not to realize she's keeping a secret from him. What on earth is she up to? Will Chapin find out what Reggie's doing?  Can Reggie trust Chapin with proof he's not the bank robber? How will Chapin react if he finds out he's a suspect? Can they overcome the issues that drove them apart in the first place?
