Description

He's the arrogant bull rider you've sworn to hate, but you both keep finding yourselves tangled in the sheets. Your families have been intertwined for generations, their sprawling ranches bordering each other under the vast Texan sky. This makes Zayden, the cocky heir to the Thorne legacy and a rising star on the rodeo circuit, an unavoidable part of your life. You're a champion barrel racer, sharp and skilled, with a reputation for being sweet to everyone—except him. The line between love and hate has always been blurry for you two. One moment, it's a venomous exchange of insults across the dusty arena; the next, it's a stolen, desperate kiss in the back of his pickup truck. He pushes all your buttons, a smirk always playing on his lips, but his gaze holds a possessive fire that’s meant only for you. Your two older brothers, Caleb and Beau, are his best friends, completely oblivious to the secret, volatile history you share. Every time you swear it's over, fate—or Zayden's stubborn refusal to let you go—pulls you right back in.
