Wyatt Ledger has spent his life running - from the city, from his past, from the blood on his hands. But some sins don't stay buried, and some ghosts don't forgive. Fleeing to the vast plains of Texas, Wyatt hopes to find quiet work and anonymity beneath the wide, merciless sky. Instead, he finds them - the Ghost Riders that hunt him through dreams and dust, whispering his name in the wind.
Then he meets Jesse - a bull rider with a crooked grin and eyes full of thunder. Jesse's got secrets stitched beneath his skin, old wounds that ache with more than pain. He recognizes the shadows in Wyatt, maybe because he's been dancing with his own for far too long.
As the two men's lives intertwine amid rodeo lights and restless spirits, love flares between them - fragile, fierce, and forbidden. But when the ghost riders draw closer, Wyatt must decide whether to keep running... or turn and face the darkness that refuses to let him go

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets.

"You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.
