She's always been great at handling animals, but when it comes to people—particularly gorgeous cowboys—things get a little more complicated.

As the traveling vet for the small town of Ivory Peaks, Kristie Higgins has crossed paths with the new Hammond Family Farm foreman more times than she can count. Mission is handsome, quiet, and more than a little intimidating—especially after that awkward first meeting where he insulted her boots. But when he finally musters the courage to ask her out, Kristie's own confidence takes a nosedive.

Mission Redbay has been at the Hammond Family Farm for eighteen years, and he's always preferred to stay in the background. He's observant, quiet, good with his hands, and keeping his distance. But as the new foreman, Mission finds himself thrust into a spotlight he's never wanted—and a certain pretty vet keeps making his head spin. He knows there's more to Kristie than her icy exterior, and he's drawn to her in a way he can't quite explain.

Mission has carried the weight of his past for a long time, and letting someone in feels like a risk. But maybe, just maybe, Kristie is worth it. When his granddad tells her about his secret crush, sparks fly between them, walls come down, and love might just get a second chance to take the lead... if Kristie and Mission are willing to take a leap of faith.

An enemies-to-lovers romance set against the beautiful backdrop of small town Ivory Peaks, His Tenth Dance is a story of love, second chances, healing, and learning to trust—both yourself and the one who holds your heart.
