Ryder

One spectacular fall in the barrel racing ring brings Billie Wallace face-to-face with Ryder Rivers—the infuriatingly gorgeous cowboy she's been crushing on for years—and suddenly he's everywhere, helping her heal and supporting her dream in ways she never expected. What starts as a partnership built on dust, banter, and stolen moments quickly transforms into something neither of them can ignore, with late-night conversations melting into kisses that feel dangerously close to forever. But Ryder's always been the type to keep moving, and Billie's spent her whole life fighting to be taken seriously—so when their connection forces them both to question everything they thought they wanted, they'll have to decide if they're brave enough to stay. This is a swoony, grounded cowboy romance about two people learning that sometimes the person who makes you want to change has been there all along.
