In **Ryder by Jessica Peterson**, a steamy small-town cowboy romance collides with rodeo dreams on the sun-drenched edges of Lucky River Ranch. Billie Wallace is determined to be taken seriously at the family ranch, and barrel racing is her shot at proving she’s more than the “wild” Wallace daughter—until her first run ends in a painful spill, and Ryder Rivers is the one leaning over her.
Ryder is her childhood crush, her brother’s best mate, and the local heartbreaker who’s always kept her at arm’s length. Now he’s turning up when she needs help, backing her ambitions, and watching her like he’s forgotten all his own rules. What starts as bickering support becomes late nights, risky chemistry, and feelings neither planned for.
Perfect for readers who love **contemporary romance**, **cowboy romance**, rodeo settings and a brother’s-best-friend slow burn with plenty of heat.
Add it to your cart and settle in for a hot, heartfelt ride.
