Ryder by Jessica Peterson is now live!
One hard fall in the rodeo ring.
One maddeningly gorgeous cowboy.
One chance at love she swore she’d never take.
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—and a purpose beyond crunching numbers in her daddy’s office. 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.
In all the years she’s known him, 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 really 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 everyone start to wonder if he’s ready to stop running…
RYDER is an interconnected standalone book in the Lucky River Ranch Series.

🤠Reviewđź¤
Ryder has never been able to make peace with the passing of his parents however he would do anything for those he cares about. He can’t deny that he has feelings for Billie but he has refused to act on them because she is his best friend’s sister however that is about to change when he comes to her rescue.
Billie is torn between doing what her family expects of her and following her dreams. When she decides to take a chance on the future she wants it doesn’t turn out the way she wanted however it does have the upside of bringing her closer to Ryder, the man she has always wanted and finally sees her as a woman and not his best friend’s sister.
The interactions between them are entertaining, the pace of the relationship was perfect, and the combination of romance and emotion was everything you could ask for. I really enjoyed how Billie helped Ryder heal and he was supportive of whatever choices would make her happy.
