Emma Mauney has spent her whole life proving she’s more than just the daughter of rodeo legend J.B. Mauney. Now graduated and riding bulls herself, she balances the pressure of competition with the responsibility of helping her dad and brother keep their struggling ranch afloat. Tough, determined, and one of the only girls in the arena, Emma refuses to be underestimated—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. When a new group of interns arrives for the summer, the quiet ranch turns into a battleground of talent, rivalry, and ambition. Among them is Colt Reyes, a gifted but guarded rider who sees Emma as an equal from the start. As competition heats up and feelings grow, Emma finds herself caught between loyalty to her family, the pull of the rodeo world, and the risk of opening her heart. In a summer defined by eight-second rides and life-changing choices, Emma must decide who she wants to be—before everything she’s worked for slips away.
