Angsty Rivals to Lovers Bareback Bronc Riders
Ride with me?
I had nowhere else to go
Oops, we should reeeeally stop
Good Boy
It's always been you
You look good in my clothes
Found family
BLURB:
All it takes is eight seconds for your world to come crashing to a halt. What happens when you're injured, stuck with the one man who makes your blood heat in a way you've never experienced before?
l've been on a path to redemption. Kayce Wilder, former screw-up.
The bareback bronc rider with big dreams. I had it all figured out.
Only, I didn't count on a ride gone wrong, to leave me with no other option than to ask for his help. Zeke Rainer. Raine. The gruff cowboy covered in tattoos, surrounded by mysteries.
We've been at odds forever. Rivals in the arena. Two rodeo riders in pursuit of the same buckle... before he left me behind, without warning.
My stepbrother.
When urgent help is needed to run the ranch, he's the last person I want to be relying on a favor from.
As the fall nights lengthen, tension and angst thickens the more time we spend alone together.
I shouldn't be noticing so many small details— especially not how strong his hands look while working with the horses—and certainly shouldn't be wondering if he thinks about me as much as I think about him.
I've never been attracted to a man before.
It would be unthinkable to be drawn to him. Wouldn't it?
