Eight Seconds to Forever

She wants her ranch back. He wants it for his own. Neither planned on the night in between.

A brutal divorce left former rodeo queen Emma broke, bitter, and ninety days from losing her Spring Creek ranch for good. She’s scraping together every dollar to buy it back in secret. No more losses. No distractions. And absolutely no cowboys.

That plan lasts exactly one night.

Shane Walker was her teenage hero, a bull-riding legend until an injury nearly killed him. Last night, he was the cowboy she never expected to see again. This morning, he’s making a play for the very ranch she’s desperate to save.

But a common enemy has a way of changing the rules.

When a wealthy developer sets his sights on the property, the rivals are forced to work together. Soon their feud turns into something neither can afford to want. Trust isn’t easy. Letting go is harder.

Then the ranch sells. And Shane holds the deed.

In a small Texas town where secrets never stay buried, will she give him eight seconds to explain…or let him take her ranch and her heart?
