Ride or Die (Rattlesnake Ranch Book 1)

Dutton Ranch meets Sons of Anarchy in this spicy, suspenseful romance set against the backdrop of the unforgiving Texas panhandle.
I never wanted to be a ranch hand. It wasn’t my goal in life, just something I fell into when I had nothing else. My dream is and always has been bull riding; it’s what I’ve worked for ever since I was a kid. But after a few too many falls, the doctor tells me I need to give it up or risk permanent injury…or worse. But screw it. Ride or die. I ain’t got much else to live for, and I’ve never stopped to worry too much about consequences.

When a pretty blonde with pretty eyes and bruises she’s trying to hide on her pretty skin coasts into town on nothing but fumes, my whole world and everything I thought I knew is flipped upside down.

Clara Turner is on the run. With two small kids, bad luck brings her as far as Summer, Texas before she has to stop to make some more money so she can keep on running. But when her bad luck continues, somehow I’m the one who always seems to be there to make things right.

As Clara and I grow closer, I come to realize that maybe there is something in my life worth living for. And when Clara lets her guard slip, she starts to believe me when I tell her not all men are monsters. But when the secrets we’re running from catch up to us, ain’t nobody safe.

Clara’s running from her past. I’m hiding from my future. But no matter how much you try to avoid the truth, sometimes there’s no escaping fate.
