Hooked on the Ridge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277965474)

Indy Irving has one more hard run in him-or that's what he keeps telling himself. The Ridge gave him a place to land after life bucked him off, but the rodeo has always been his first love. With a battered body, a stubborn streak a mile wide, and a found family waiting back home, he hits the circuit determined to prove he's not done yet... no matter what it costs.
Laramie McRae grew up in the shadow of the arena lights and knows exactly what they can take from you. As the stock contractor's daughter and the outfit's large-animal vet, she's seen enough wrecks to know there's a fine line between brave and reckless-and Indy Irving struts right along it. She's there to doctor bulls and patch up riders, not fall for one who treats concussions like a minor inconvenience and keeps smiling at her like she's worth staying for.
But miles on the road and near-misses have a way of breaking down walls. As the season grinds on and the risks climb higher, Indy and Laramie will have to decide what's worth holding on to: eight seconds of glory, or the life they could build on... if they're brave enough to choose each other.

Hooked on the Ridge is a gritty, heartfelt small-town western romance with rodeo danger, found family warmth, and a bull rider who finally learns that real courage isn't riding rank-it's living long enough to love.
