In this sizzling, sassy western romance, she’s been burned by too many cowboys—but can this rodeo rider convince her he’s worth the risk?
Retired SEAL Thatch Hearst never thought he’d put down roots, but four years in Star Valley as a bronc rider has him calling the town home. All he needs now is to earn some real money by competing in the big leagues. He’ll have his chance with the town’s upcoming rodeo days, but first he needs to improve his scores. Running out of time—and ideas—Thatch enlists the help of a local yoga instructor, hoping to gain an extra edge.
Lyric Valenza has worked with difficult clients, but this ruggedly handsome cowboy might just be her biggest challenge. Marrying a cowboy was the biggest mistake of her life, and after her divorce, she vowed she’d never again need a man. Only the more time she spends with Thatch, the more she realizes there’s a difference between needing and wanting someone—and this cowboy may just be the one person she doesn’t want to be without.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Richardson returns to the quaint small town of Star Valley, Wyo., in her stirring follow-up to Betting on a Good Luck Cowboy. After yoga instructor Lyric Valenza's marriage to bronc buster Luke Copeland turns violent, she returns to her adoptive hometown and vows never to get too close to a man again—not even attractive Navy SEAL turned aspiring rodeo star Thatch Hearst. Then Thatch decides to try yoga to improve his flexibility, and the pair grow closer. Worried that one of her high school yoga students may be ensnared in an abusive relationship, Lyric persuades Thatch to keep an eye on the girl's boyfriend. After Lyric and Thatch are mistaken for a couple, they decide to go along with it so they can go on a double date with the teens and observe their dynamic. Fake dating inevitably leads to real feelings, but when Lyric learns her ex-husband is set to compete in Star Valley's Rodeo Days, the fear and pain she thought she'd overcome come flooding back. Richardson sensitively handles the topic of domestic violence and its long-term effects on survivors, and watching resilient yet cautious Lyric learn to trust a man again provides a powerful emotional payoff. Fans of emotional cowboy romance will not be disappointed.
