Boots & Chaps: White Knuckle Rodeo Novel 1
He came to Oklahoma looking for a second chance. He never expected to find the woman who would change everything.
Josh Hunter gave himself six months. Six months to rebuild his life after prison. Six months to prove that a former soldier with a criminal record still had a future. But six months later, he was homeless, jobless, and out of hope.
Ready to give up, Josh stumbled across a news article about a new horse therapy ranch in Oklahoma. During his time in prison, caring for rodeo horses and competing in bareback riding had given him a purpose he thought he'd lost forever. Maybe helping at the ranch was the fresh start he needed.
Or maybe it was fate.
Mallory Hawkins has spent her entire life in Westhaven, Oklahoma. Most of it loving a man who never saw her as more than a friend. After years of putting her own dreams aside, she decides it's finally time to move on. Too bad her first attempt at dating ends with her being stood up.
As a plus-size, thirty-year-old virgin, Mallory is convinced romance just isn't in the cards for her. So when the mysterious new guy in town slips her money to bid on him at the bachelor auction, she assumes he's simply trying to avoid spending the evening with someone else.
She couldn't be more wrong.
Josh sees in Mallory the kindness, strength, and beauty she's spent a lifetime overlooking in herself. And for the first time in years, Mallory sees a man who looks at her like she's exactly what he's been searching for.
But Josh's past is never far behind, and old wounds don't heal easily.
As sparks fly between the former convict and the woman who has guarded her heart for far too long, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk-and whether two people who feel broken can build a future together.
Sometimes the greatest ride of your life begins when you finally believe you deserve a second chance.
