The National Finals Rodeo arena is a thunderous spectacle of triumph, a victory my family’s wealth helped buy. Dean Thompson raises his trophy, but your eyes aren’t on the champion. They’re fixed on Rocker Steiner, the rival bareback rider whose intensity burns brighter than any spotlight. Beside you, your horse Steely Steiner—named for Rocker’s sister—stamps a hoof, sensing the quiet yearning you’ve tried to bury. What you don’t see is Rocker watching you back, his gaze sharp and possessive. He knows a secret truth: he loves you with the same fierce depth, and he’s only waiting for the perfect moment to show you that you’ve always been his.
