About This Book
There's something irresistible about a second-chance story set against the dust and danger of professional rodeo. When a photographer lands her dream assignment at the World Rodeo Championships, she's armed with ambition, a camera, and a firm rule against cowboys — one particular champion included. Of course, fate has other plans. Ride takes the familiar tension of unfinished business and wraps it in a setting that feels both rugged and alive, where the stakes are professional, personal, and impossible to separate. The pull between protecting your future and reaching for something you never quite got over is the emotional engine here, and it runs hot.
Roxie Noir writes romance with a sharp sense of place and a heroine who earns your loyalty fast. The banter crackles without feeling manufactured, and the pacing moves the way a good romance should — drawing out the tension just long enough before letting it snap. What distinguishes Ride is how grounded it feels: the rodeo world isn't just backdrop decoration, it shapes the characters and raises the cost of every choice they make. Readers who want heat with actual substance will find it here.
