Veterinarian's Vixen - Culpepper Cowboys, #8

When reporter Nancy Tilson visited Culpepper, Wyoming to do a story on the Quinlan Quads the real scoop was her instant connection with hunky veterinarian, "Doc" O'Donnell. But months have passed, without a single call from Doc. Now Nancy is back in Culpepper to cover the Culpepper Stakes, a Fourth of July horse race, and to seek out answers to why the spark between her and Doc fizzled out.Doc is shocked to see Nancy back in town, especially after she brushed him off by giving him a fake phone number, ruining a promising start to a budding romance.
He is determined to fight the feelings he still has for her, especially when Nancy's slimy boss, Stu, hints that he and Nancy have something going on.But all is not as it seems. As one set of misunderstandings untangles, a whole other batch of problems springs up. Problems that lead to Doc not just treating the horses for the Culpepper Stakes, but entering the race himself. Stu is not the sort to take defeat lying down, though, and for a second time, Nancy and Doc's relationship is in danger of fizzling before it gets off the ground.
