He's rodeo royalty chasing a championship. She's the rookie sensation who just shattered his world. In the arena, they're rivals. But on the road, they're about to break the first rule of the circuit: never fall for the competition.
Cody Colt is rodeo royalty, and he’s closing in on the national championship. He lives his life in eight-second bursts of adrenaline, and the last thing he needs is a distraction. But a distraction is exactly what he gets in Phoenix “Nix” Delacroix—a fiercely talented rookie with more grit than sense, who’s determined to compete in the men’s saddle bronc event.
Nix has spent her life proving she belongs in a world that wants to shut her out. She’s not looking for friends, and she’s definitely not looking for a rival in the circuit’s golden boy. To her, Cody Colt is just another obstacle, a charming cowboy who represents the very system she’s fighting against.
Their rivalry is instant and electric, both in and out of the arena. But as they travel the same dusty roads from one rodeo to the next, their clashes give way to a grudging respect, and that respect ignites an attraction neither of them can afford. They are competitors chasing the same dream, but they soon discover the biggest prize isn't a gold buckle, a love that could cost them everything.
This is a sweet, feel-good romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, strong heroines, and the high-stakes world of professional rodeo.
