Luckless. If ever there was a word that describes Brent “Blue” Wallace, that’s it. Abandoned by drug-addicted parents as a toddler. Abused and mistreated in foster homes. Runaway teen. Working for a man who treats him like garbage and pays him next to nothing. Blue’s only joy is playing in a little cover band in rundown watering holes outside Macon, Georgia, on the weekends and writing the occasional song. Oh, and finding a woman at the bar to spend a night with. His boss hates him. His neighbors hate him and his crappy little house with the overgrown yard and beer cans lying about. Nobody hates him more than he does. But when an unexpected “gift” turns up on his doorstep, it spins his world upside down. In his eyes, Indigo Darling Wallace is a blue-eyed, shrieking alien life form who leaks from every orifice in her body and terrifies him. He doesn’t want a baby; he can’t take care of one. It feels best to offer her to the neighbor who wears scrubs and already has two kids, until she explains to him that if he doesn’t keep her, she’ll go into the foster system. Over Blue Wallace’s dead body. In a six-month time span, Blue learns a lot about life and about himself. And just when he thinks things are finally going right for him, a demon from the bowels of Hell comes knocking to rip his world apart. It’s the challenge of Blue’s lifetime. If he wins, he takes it all. But if he loses, the chance at a happy life with a good woman and three precious kids slips away forever. So, fight or run? It’s time for Blue Wallace to make his own luck. And for the first time ever, he won’t be fighting alone.

Positions as an instructor and rodeo coach at the local university in South Carolina aren’t enough to keep Jensen Strader in town after he’s abandoned at the altar, so he grabs a trailer and his horses and heads out on the rodeo circuit. Buckles? Sure, he’d love a few. Buckle bunnies? Not interested. That changes when he meets Shyanna Owens. She’s been picked on, spat on, cussed out, slapped, and punched by people who were supposed to love her, and by male competitors who feel threatened by her. All she wants to do is ride bulls and broncs, and she’s made it clear that no one will run her off. She’s never been tossed one scrap of respect as a human being. Fortunately, she finds a different kind of cowboy in the kind, gentlemanly Jensen. Together, they form the perfect team … and the perfect couple. It’s an alliance that buys Shyanna friends and camaraderie within the rodeo association, safety, and a love that’s true and deep. But just as Shyanna begins to get the recognition and respect she deserves, one of them stumbles into something dangerous and sinister within the association. It’s no longer about competition. It’s about bitterness and corruption on a collision course with death, and it could stop the beating heart of their relationship unless a determined rough stock rider has her way. Well, you know what they say: Cowgirl up, ladies—the rodeo is coming to town.
