Jordyn Ries doesn't do attachments. Kacey Westbrook doesn't do staying. In a small Texas town where everyone's watching, they were never supposed to collide-let alone fall. But between late nights, broken pasts, and a chemistry neither of them can ignore, walking away might be the one thing they can't do. Even if staying means risking everything.

seventeen-year-old Dakota Miller had her life mapped out, work hard on her family's ranch, compete in rodeos, and prove herself in the town where most people underestimated her. She didn't have time for distractions-especially not ones like Kade Campbell. Eighteen, charming, and way too confident for his own good, Kade rode into her life like one of the broncs he tamed- wild, reckless, and impossible to ignore. Between shared rides to rodeos and stolen moments on her ranch, Dakota found herself falling for him in a way she never expected. But summer couldn't last forever.
