Eight seconds to glory. One second to lose him forever.

Eli

Dallas chewed me up and spit me out. I was supposed to be a corporate legend. Instead, I’m back in my childhood bedroom, licking my wounds and hiding from my failure. I just want to survive the humiliation. Then I run into Colt Dawson. He’s dust, denim, and bad decisions. He’s the high school rival I swore I’d left in the rearview. He represents everything I escaped—risk, dirt, and small-town stagnation. But the hate feels a lot like desire. And when we cross the line from enemies to lovers, I realize the danger isn't the rodeo. It's falling for a man who risks his life for a living.

Colt

The arena is the only place I make sense. The noise. The pain. The adrenaline. It’s simple. Eli isn't simple. He’s sharp suits, wounded pride, and judgment. He thinks I’m reckless. He doesn't see that he’s the only thing that actually scares me. We used to trade insults. Now we’re trading sweat in the dark. He wants me to be safe. I need to be a champion. But when the dust settles and the ambulance lights flash, I have to decide if the title is worth the cost of losing him.

Welcome to the chute. Where the ride is rough, the falls are hard, and the only thing scarier than a bull is a broken heart.
