title: And Then You Dance
author: Buchman, Heather A.
description: Wherever he was, Billy owned the air. It belonged to him, and he took it. And Then You Dance is the second book in the Crested Butte series. Set in scenic Colorado, the story follows the lives of cowboy Billy Patterson and girl next door, Renie Fairchild. Last year, Billy Patterson was national saddle bronc champion, this year, nothing in his life seems to be working, including competing on the rodeo circuit. When Liv Fairchild marries Ben Rice and offers to sell Billy her ranch, he quickly takes her up on it. The part he hadn't bargained on, was keeping the boarding stables open. Liv insists, and Billy is forced to take on a responsibility he hadn't planned to. But, that means Renie's horse will stay on the ranch, and if her horse stays, maybe he can talk her into staying too. Renie has been in love with Billy all her life. No one knows it though, especially not Billy. She's his sidekick, and his best friend. But she's not a little girl anymore. She's a woman. How long can she bear to be around him, when he'll never see her that way-or love her the way she loves him. Billy's world is turned upside down when he finds out he has a baby girl, with no one to raise her but him. Will this bring Billy and Renie closer together? Or, will it drive Renie into the arms of another man? When they meet at a Colorado dude ranch over the summer, Jace Rice wants nothing more than to be the man who makes Renie forget Billy Patterson ever existed.
