RODEO HEARTS || DR3

Austin, 2022.
The crowd roared, the engines screamed, and Daniel Ricciardo was supposed to keep his head in the game. But when he saw her - boots kicking up dust, blonde hair shining under the Texan sun - everything else blurred.

Marigold "Goldie" Hayes didn't care about Formula 1, fame, or fast cars. She cared about real things: the smell of rain before a storm, the sting of rodeo dust, the quiet after the music stops.

He thought she'd be a quick distraction.
She thought he'd be gone by sunrise.

But sometimes, love shows up in cowboy boots and racing gear -
and when two wild hearts collide, not even the finish line can stop them.
