Roping the Rodeo Star. Hard to Handle

He left with the sunrise. She kept the secret with her whole heart. Three years later, the rodeo star who vanished limps onto her porch-bruised, broke, and about to learn what he left behind. Cassidy Lane has rebuilt her life in Cedar Hill: a stubborn ranch, a tiny kitchen table, and the fierce promise that no cowboy will ever break her again. Weston Cole was wildfire for one night in Nashville; now an injury has knocked him off the circuit and straight into her shadow.
She offers a bunkhouse and boundaries. He asks for a chance. Work-for-stay turns to proximity neither of them can ignore-dawn chores, dusk sparks, and a little girl's laughter threading through the dust. But trust is the meanest bull in the arena. Weston wants to be the man who stays. Cassidy demands proof-day by day, fence by fence-that he won't run when the past bucks hard. When the rodeo comes calling and the ranch bills pile up, one wrong step could shatter the fragile family they're daring to build.
Steamy, small-town, second-chance Western romance packed with grit, heart, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. For readers who love protective single moms, repentant bad-boy cowboys, and secret-baby stakes that lasso you from page one.
