When his best friend Trey's life is on the line, Mickey is willing to do just about anything to help. He's had a thing for his buddy for years, and sacrificing his other love, his ranch, might just be worth it if he can keep Trey going.
Turns out that the sacrifice of the ranch might be the easy part. Mickey finds out that keeping Trey away from the rodeo, keeping him on his feet, and convincing him that the two of them have a future is the hardest thing he's ever done. Can the hard working rancher rope his rodeo man?

“So, how bad is it?”
Doc Jacobs looked up at me and shook his head. “Well, Micky, there’s bad. Then there’s real bad. Then there’s what’s happened to this asshole.”
Trey groaned, trying to push himself up onto one elbow. “Don’t listen to him, Mick. I’m fine.”
Doc put one hand on Trey’s shoulder and gently pushed him flat on his back. “He’s not fine. He’s all kinds of busted up. More than likely we’ve got internal damage. Broke for sure? Couple five ribs, arm, collarbone, right leg. I’m thinking his pelvis might be cracked, too, but we won’t know that for sure ‘til I see the X-rays.”
“Christ.” I whistled through my teeth. “He’s out.” Trey closed his eyes. “He’s really out.”
“He should have been out before now,” Doc snapped. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say at least two of these ribs were broken before he ever got in the chute.”
