Synopsis

<p>The scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer. . .</p><p><b>Saddle up for the sizzling, small-town, single-dad cowgirl romance, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Paisley Hope and Hannah Grace.</b></p><p><i>She’s Texas's toughest bull rider, and he’s determined to win her heart.</i> </p><p><b>Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends – or so Dakota thought.</b></p><p>Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields together, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas . . . until one summer, he never returned.</p><p>Dakota hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden boy, and she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer,” breaking both rodeo records and men’s hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip.</p><p>Wyatt’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get her back – two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers.</p><p><b>All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, she finds it hard to stay away. . . </b></p><p><i>Tropes: </i><Br></p><ul><li>Second Chance</li><li>Black Cat x Golden Retriever</li><li>He Falls First</li><li>Forced Proximity</li></ul><p><Br>© Meredith Trapp 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026</p>
