Ride Dirty, Cowboy: Dirty Cowboy

Some men are impossible to hate. Kai Hunt is not one of them.

On the pro bull-riding circuit, they call him Frost—and after three years of icy glares and sharp words, she knows exactly why. Kai has made his feelings about journalist Maya perfectly clear since the moment she started dating his best friend, Sunny Burke. The golden cowboy. The man everybody loved. The man they both lost when a car carried three people and only returned two.

Grief has a way of sending people running, and Maya is no exception. She retreats to her small country town, certain she'll never have to face the wreckage of that night again. Then a job offer arrives that's too good to refuse: travel the US with the pro bull-riding tour, uncover the riders' secrets, and deliver the drama to hungry readers in a weekly gossip column. It's the career opportunity she's always wanted.

It's also the last place on earth she should be.

Because Kai is there. Brooding, broad-shouldered, and furious at the sight of her—yet unable to keep his distance no matter how hard he tries. As Maya digs for stories among the dust and danger of the rodeo world, the line between enemy and something far more complicated begins to blur. Two people bound together by loss, guilt, and a chemistry neither of them asked for must decide if the truth between them is worth the risk.

Some rides are worth the fall.
