Homebound

A charming and swoon-worthy second chance romance between Texas's toughest female rodeo rider and the man determined to win her back--perfect for fans of Elena Armas and Lyla Sage.Dakota and Wyatt. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends...or so Dakota thought.Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family's flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they'd stargaze in the fields, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas until one summer, he never returned. Dakota hasn't heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He's the hockey world's golden boy, and she's developed a reputation as "The Cowboy Killer," breaking both rodeo records and men's hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip. Wyatt's back to get the girl he's been obsessing over for years, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get her back--two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, it turns out the scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer.
