A lot can happen in eight seconds. One ... Two ... Three ... JD McCall lives his life fast and focused on exactly what's in front of him: the next woman, the next drink, the next eight seconds on a rank bull. As best man in his brother's wedding, JD scoffs at the idea of love-where's the fun in that? The one good thing about the wedding is Everly Mitchell, the maid of honor-a tall, gorgeous, feisty redhead who hails all the way from New York City. He figures it's only polite to show the city gal the ropes of being with a cowboy. After all, isn't that what a Southern gentleman is supposed to do? Four ... Five ... When the National Bull Rider tour leads JD to the big city, he saddles up with Ev, who ends up dealing him an even faster lifestyle than his own, full of lights, cameras, and plenty of action. Now on Ev's concrete turf, JD realizes a simple bull rider is no match for a savvy businesswoman. Six ... Seven ... JD is used to being the one who does the heart breaking. He likes to fool around, not be made a fool. Eight. The McCall curse strikes again. How is JD going to get out of this one?
