What Happens at the Rodeo
12 parts Ongoing MatureTristan's life has never gone the way he planned. He married his high school sweetheart too young, became a father before he was ready, and now he's trapped in a toxic marriage with a woman who doesn't value him-or their little girl, Emily. The rodeo was supposed to be his escape, a place where he could still breathe, but even the arena can't hide the truth: Tristan is living someone else's dream, not his own.
Loneliness and disappointment push him into dangerous choices. An affair with an older woman shows him the kind of warmth and passion he's been missing, but it's not enough to heal the emptiness inside him. Then a flood in Arizona strands him in a hotel with Adrian-a woman who stirs something deeper than desire. With her, Tristan glimpses the kind of love and future he's always longed for, but never believed he deserved.
Now, he's standing at a crossroads. To claim the life he wants, Tristan must face the hardest truths of all: breaking free from a marriage that's breaking him, letting go of past mistakes, and daring to fight for a second chance at happiness. Because sometimes, what happens at the rodeo isn't about the ride in the arena-it's about finding the courage to ride into a new life.
