Open Sky, Broken Ground

Seventeen-year-old Jesse Morgan never asked to start over. Forced to move to a small town for her senior year after her mother's sudden marriage, Jesse is determined to keep her head down, survive graduation, and stay focused on her dream of becoming an emergency room nurse. Falling for anyone-especially a cowboy with a reputation for trouble-is not part of the plan.

Maddox Carter lives for eight seconds at a time. Charming, stubborn, and one of the youngest rising stars in professional bull riding, he's risking everything in the arena for a reason no one knows: his family's farm is slipping away, and he'll do whatever it takes to save it. Love is a distraction he can't afford.

When Jesse and Maddox are thrown together, sparks fly as fast as tempers. What begins as a clash of two stubborn hearts slowly becomes something deeper-pushing them to confront old wounds, impossible expectations, and the futures they've always imagined for themselves.

But when one life-changing decision threatens to pull them in opposite directions, Jesse and Maddox must choose between chasing their dreams... or fighting for the love neither of them saw coming.
