Dani Rivera once owned the rodeo arena until an injury ended it all and sent her out of town without a word. Now she's back, carrying scars she refuses to hide, determined to prove she still belongs in the saddle. But returning home means more than chasing a comeback. It means facing Ellie.

Ellie Carson has built a steady life as the town's veterinarian, burying the heartbreak of the woman who walked away. She promised herself Dani would never get another chance. Yet the moment she sees her under the floodlights, the old hurt burns and so does the want she thought she'd buried.

When the rodeo throws them together, tension rises fast. Ellie demands the truth Dani has never spoken. Dani fights regrets that stick closer than dust on her boots. Between the weight of the past and the heat of what still pulls them together, both women are forced to face what never really died.

But trusting again means risking more than bruised hearts. With Dani's comeback dragging her toward the spotlight and Ellie's fear of being left behind, love and ambition collide head-on.

Will they find the strength to rewrite their story, or watch it break under the arena lights?

The wildest frontiers aren't just out on the plains they live inside the heart.

In the Cowgirl Secret Desire series, every book stands on its own, but together they tell a story of women who never expected to fall for each other. Under wide Western skies, passion tangles with loyalty and secrets too tempting to ignore.

Sometimes it starts with the scrape of dusty boots on a wooden floor, or the flash of a daring smile at sunset. Barns, rodeo arenas, and long ranch nights become stages where grit collides with forbidden want. These aren't polished fairy tales. They're raw, messy, and unforgettable where love grows wild in places no one thought to look.

Frontier grit. Fierce women. Desire that won't stay hidden.

Are you ready to ride into the fire?
