Mountain Time

Six weeks. That’s all the time I have before the summer rodeo run begins, and I need to stay focused.
My goal is simple—become a world champion bull rider. And I only have one rule—No girlfriends. No exceptions.

But when I agree to spend the spring shoeing horses in the Colorado mountains, the last thing I expect to find is Kacey Hart. She’s everything I wasn’t looking for but suddenly can’t resist—smart, independent, and heartbreakingly beautiful. She’s spent years guarding her heart, convinced men only want her for her family’s ranch. But I want her for so much more.
As I shamelessly flirt and slowly gain Kacey’s trust, desire sparks and lines get blurred. The closer the summer run gets, the more I need her, in my bed, in my heart, in my life.
And when my summer run gets turned upside down, I do the one thing I swore I never would—I ask her to come with me. Now, it’s not just a world title on the line, it’s my heart. The road to gold is brutal, but losing Kacey? That might just break me.

Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, my home, the Diamond Hart Ranch, has always been my sanctuary—my escape from the world and the heartbreak that comes with it. As the sole heir to Colorado’s most successful ranch, I’ve learned the hard way that men see me as a prize, not a person. Trusting someone, giving another man my heart, isn’t a mistake I’ll make again.
But when Knox Ward comes to the ranch, my world tilts on its axis. He’s everything I should avoid—not to mention he’s the hottest professional bull rider in pro rodeo. Yet beneath the confidence and charm, he’s patient, kind, and determined to earn my trust. My head knows falling for a cowboy like him is reckless. My heart? It’s already teetering on the edge.

With the summer rodeo run fast approaching and desire burning hot, I can’t bring myself to let him go. But when our dreams collide, I wonder if we will make it through the summer…
