Book One of the Roughstock Series
BLURB:
Beau Wheeler ain’t scared of much. Not dirt, not hurt, not making a fool of himself, and certainly not bulls. It makes him one hell of a rodeo clown. The crowds love him. The riders respect him. And AJ Vaughn? Well, that particular bull riding phenom feels something else for Beau entirely.
AJ has no intention of becoming the first openly gay professional bull rider. He doesn’t have funds or family to fall back on. Coming out could ruin his best shot at a stable and comfortable life, which is why this silly crush–and AJ’s sexuality–are both secrets he keeps close to his chest. Besides, it’s not as if Beau would ever reciprocate his feelings…right?
Circumstance forces the pair closer, and Beau starts to wonder why his friendship with the bull rider feels different. Why he craves the other man’s touch. Why sharing AJ’s attention makes him angry.
When everything between them finally changes, their world stays the same, which begs the question: What happens to love when it becomes the one thing you can’t afford?
Wild Ride is an open-door, friends-to-lovers cowboy romance between a reclusive bull rider and a rodeo clown featuring a demisexual awakening, forced proximity, Appalachian nonsense, a Polaroid camera, eleven pygmy goats named Gus, and a guaranteed HEA. Intended for adult readers only.
