Shane Marvell‘s
career as a rodeo rider is ending far too soon. He doesn’t have a plan B, so

possible–even if it means riding injured and taking more risks than he should.

Ella Etxeberri has
always played it safe, so when her life still takes a bad turn despite her
caution, she wonders if if isn’t time to see what she’s been missing. While
researching risk behaviors in rodeo riders, she meets Shane Marvell, a cowboy
who merits additional study of the personal variety.

who merits additional study of the personal variety.
Just as Ella is
hitting the point to embrace risk, Shane is pulling back. He knows Ella’s
all-in approach is born of curiosity and whim. He’s not what she wants forever,
and perhaps Ella is one risk he can’t allow himself to take.

He stepped back
to allow her to enter first, then followed her in, grimacing as his knee did
its best not to cooperate. He set his rigging and his chaps on top of his gear

handle.

It’s awkward, but the sports guys aren’t at some of the smaller rodeo.” Shane’s

Shane shrugged

She ran an exploratory
