When rodeo cowboy Cody O’Brien is found dead in his horse trailer, it appears that his horse, Game Boy, is the culprit. Aimee Machado, health sciences librarian at Timbergate Medical Center, has no reason to doubt the preliminary finding . . . until she discovers that Cody was in line to inherit money from his dying father, ad had just checked himself out of a hospital before the scheduled operation. As Aimee looks into this murky case she begins to wonder if Cody’s surgeon or his family might know more than they’re admitting to. When it’s discovered that a nurse went missing on the night of Cody’s death, Aimee is convinced there is foul play. Meanwhile, her old crush James, who happens to be Cody’s brother, suddently has his sights on her. Now Aimee must ferret out the truth and solve a crime while also solving the mystery of her heart in this “just-one-more-page story with a very satisfying conclusion” (RT Book Reviews).
