Rodeo Man: A Contemporary Western (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798895677940)

He was born into the arena-but only pain waited behind the chute.

Once a rising star in the shadow of his legendary father, Daryl Weathers was built for bull riding. But a reckless streak and a broken past turned promise into ruin. Booze, bruises, and buckle bunnies-he's burning fast and ready to quit for good.

Then comes a crash that nearly kills him. A heart attack that shatters the only bond he had left. And a stranger-a retired champion bullfighter-who throws him a lifeline... and a second chance.

Trading the back of the bull for the danger of fighting on foot, Daryl begins a new kind of ride-one that demands more than strength. In the dust and chaos of the arena, he finds purpose again... and maybe even something like love. But when the lights are brightest and the bulls deadliest, Daryl must face the past he's been outrunning-and make a choice that will define the man he's become.

Will he stand tall and risk it all-or ride off knowing he didn't try?
