Synopsis:
Always
the bridesmaid, but never the bride, Rachel Thompson is ready to give
up on love, before rodeo cowboy Brooks Reynolds rides into the arena
and lassos her heart. His smoldering looks and strong yet tender
nature sweep her off her feet. Life is pinch-worthy and picture-book
perfect, except on the eve of her wedding Rachel’s love story is
ripped from the pages. After two months of grieving, she discovers
her nightmare is never-ending. In order to escape her heartbreaking
past, the middle-school counselor relocates to a new city for a fresh
start and a second chance at happiness and perhaps even love. Through
her faith and the support of her family and friends she discovers
sought after answers during an unexpected journey.
Rachel’s
eyes shoot in the direction of the commanding man sitting tall in the
saddle. His jet-black hair curls slightly against the collar of his
royal blue western-style shirt. The short sleeves are rolled to fit
snugly against his massive, bulging biceps. It’s obvious where he
spends his free time, from the fine-tuned muscles and the dark tan
encompassing his fit frame. Oh my, she mumbles as he sits his
buck-colored hat firmly on his head. He secures his boots in his
stirrups. His long fingers toy with the coiled rope. Sam acknowledges
him with a nod and the steer is released. They’re off. Like bullets
the three of them skillfully dart one after another. The steer runs
for its’ life as Sam’s rope lunges into action. He twirls his
lasso with the style and grace of a ballerina demonstrating
pirouettes. As if he has mind reading skills, Brooks instinctively
releases his rope. The twisted twine skims perfectly under the
steer’s hooves and is brilliantly tightened to prevent the two
hundred plus pound animal from moving forward. The two riders face
each other backing their horses until the steer is air born.
Everything is magically timed and over-the-top exhilarating. The
ladies are on their feet screaming as the announcer exclaims team
number ten has the best time of eight and a half seconds, with only
one more team left to compete.
Sam
waves his hat at Courtney who shouts and blows him a kiss. Brooks’
eyes dart toward the high-pitched squeal. Even from the distance,
Rachel notices the brilliant blue eyes aimed her direction. Her chest
heaves as though she ran a half-marathon. She catches her breath and
continues applauding the skilled ride. How could a sporting event be
so exhilarating and sexually satisfying? Brooks tips his hat toward
her, with a crooked grin, and follows Sam to the exit.
With
bated breath, Rachel and Courtney watch the next ride. The team is
quite skilled, but can’t beat team ten’s ride. The guys are
victorious. All eleven teams enter the arena. Team ten smiles proudly
as they are awarded their trophy and belt buckles. Sam hurdles the
wall and makes his way into Courtney’s welcoming arms. Brooks
laughs at his exuberant teammate and hollers for him to get his ass
back to the stables. Once again the announcer broadcasts
congratulations to team ten the new Smith County team-roping
champions. Rachel enjoys the view of the faded jean clad butts
exiting the arena. She’s savoring one fine set of firm ass cheeks
when the beholder glances back over his shoulder catching her in the
act. He winks. She blushes, prior to catching her breath and smiling.
Brooks relishes catching her in the act. He turns and tosses an arm
over his partner’s shoulders. Sam lifts the trophy into the air.
They turn the corner and disappear. Courtney proudly exclaims, “Team
ten wins!”
Rachel
smiles and says, “A ten—yes, he definitely is a ten.
