Cole grabbed my arm. “You don’t need to do this. I got myself into this mess. I’ll live with the consequences.”

Rodeo is all Billy Ryan has ever known – until one deadly wreck changes everything. With his mom requiring full-time care and his brother Cole dealing with his own demons, Billy needs to step up to take care of his family.

Shae-Lynn is the sweet good-girl-next-door who grew up with the boys on the rodeo circuit. She's the only person who knows Billy better than he knows himself. But there's a limit to how many times she'll watch him make the same mistakes...Especially when it comes to her heart.
