Break the Chute

Picture

Set in the same world as Hartwell Hills, this new standalone, photographer/journalist Emersyn Flynn is ready to prove to everyone she is more than what she has been labeled, and writing the new feature article on the top bull rider is just the thing to do the trick. If only she could shake off this spark of familiarity when she looks at Oakes.

Oakes remembers Emersyn from sixteen years ago when she held his hand after a life changing accident. She's the reason he is where is he. He's thought of her every time he gets on the bull, so when she steps back into his life after sixteen years...he's more than willing to let her follow him around for the summer. The only problem is...she doesn't seem to recognize him. 

Sparks will fly and the chute will break open as Oakes and Emersyn remember exactly who each other are in the new, spicey standalone set in the same world as Hartwell Hills. 

Tropes: Secret Identity, Small Age Gap (shes older), Rodeo Romance, Forced Proximity, Open-Door Spice.
TW: Family trauma with abusive father (discussed on page), rodeo accident (on page), mentions of alcoholism (not MC), Workplace Trauma.
