Broncrider Stories

*Book 4 - Country Hearts Series - Coming Summer 2026* Cole Haynes is a bronc rider. But he's not just any bronc rider. He can ride even the most wild of horses, whether he's rodeoing or riding at his family ranch in Tennessee with his brother Easton. But there's always been one horse that's caused him trouble. Bronc 272, Stomp Thunder. The same horse that ended his brothers bronc riding career. The same horse a girl with bright blue eyes watched him ride a year before. A girl who stole his heart with one glance. A girl he never knew the name of. The same girl who just showed up at the small town rodeo he's riding in. Hazel Green is back in town and her first stop, the small town rodeo that reminds her of home. But when she recognizes the man in a black cowboy hat and black chaps with red fringes, her heart stops. And he's just drawn the same bronc he rode the last time she was here.

Set against the dusty arenas and open skies of Lamar, Colorado. Bren, a 19-year-old college student at LCC, and Nolin, a 20-year-old bareback bronc rider chasing big-arena dreams. What begins as an easy friendship-rooted in late-night talks, rodeo weekends, and the quiet comfort they find in each other- gradually deepens into something neither of them expected. As Nolin battles the risks and pressures of the rodeo world and Bren navigates school, self-discovery, and her growing feelings, the two must learn whether love can survive fear, ambition, and the uncertainties of growing up. Because in a world of dust, danger, and second chances, sometimes the wildest ride is falling for the girl you'd never expect to show up in your life.
