Ryder

Billie Wallace has spent her whole life trying to prove she's more than the Wallace Ranch's "wild" only daughter. All she wants is a shot at barrel racing, but when her very first run ends in disaster, Billie lands flat on her back with Ryder Rivers—her childhood crush, her brother's best friend, and the town's notorious heartbreaker—hovering over her.

Ryder has never entertained Billie's shameless flirting. But after her fall, he's suddenly everywhere—showing up to help her when she's hurt, staring at her across the honky-tonk when she's trying to move on with a bronc rider, and encouraging her to explore her dream career.

Before either can register what's happening, their partnership sparks into much more than just dust and arguments.

Late nights turn into stolen kisses. Stolen kisses turn into something that feels dangerously like forever.

Ryder swears he's not the staying kind, but the way he looks at Billie like she's the only woman in the world makes her wonder if he's ready to stop running...

Ryder is the fifth standalone cowboy romance in the steamy and wildly sexy Lucky River Ranch series by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Peterson, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.
