Sometimes, the hardest falls lead to the strongest connections.
Elizabeth Lawson never expected to fall for a cowboy. Especially not Rhett Cole-the bull rider with a reckless grin and a past that keeps him chasing the next eight seconds. She's spent her whole life planning her future, and it doesn't include falling for someone who could break her heart-or worse, not make it back in one piece.
But Rhett makes her feel something she never has before-something real. And when one stolen kiss turns into something neither of them can ignore, Ellie is forced to choose between the life she's built and the man she's falling for.
Because loving a cowboy means knowing he may never walk away from the ride. And when the dust settles, she'll have to decide if risking her heart is worth the fall.

Lone Star | Rhett Abbott
Wabang, Wyoming ain't big enough for the both of them-or at least, that's how it's felt since sophomore year. Rhett Abbott and Abigail Reed were inseparable growing up. Their families' ranches stretched across the prairie from one another, and their childhoods were built on bonfires, rodeos, lake trips, and long summer nights. Abbott and Reed-two of the biggest names in town. Then came the night everything changed. A mid-autumn family camping trip, a fire pit under a sky full of stars, and a kiss neither of them forgot. But instead of drawing closer, they both froze-too scared to make a move, too proud to admit the truth. Rhett drifted toward Maria Olivares. Abby, out of heartbreak and maybe revenge, ended up with a Tillerson. Trevor Tillerson. Rhett saw them behind the Buffalo Bar, wrapped up in each other, and just like that, years of friendship went up in flames. They spent the rest of high school as enemies with matching bruised egos, sharp tongues, and lingering stares. Then Abby left town right after graduation, chasing a country music dream in Nashville-and Rhett never heard from her again. Until now. Six years later, Abby's back in Wabang-washed-up, heartbruised, and coasting on the last fumes of a stalled career. But this time, she's not just passing through. Thrown back together by old memories and even older tension, Rhett and Abby find themselves circling that same fire again. The feelings never left. The timing was just wrong. This is a second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with bull rides, bonfires, bar brawls-and a love that never really died. Because in Wabang, some feuds never fade. And neither does first love.
