Publisher's Synopsis
Four residents of Cedar Ridge have decided to make big changes in their lives. Jessica Warnick has made the ultimate decision to leave her troubled marriage to Jake. The relationship has been dying one heartache at a time. She's torn between the fear of starting over and the desperate need for change. Change was what she'd needed from Jake. Since he couldn't come through with his promises to do so, he was forcing her to make that move herself. Jake Warnick has long past the burn out stage of his career as a street cop. He's giving some serious thought to a different livelihood. He's also waking up to the fact that his rogue lifestyle and indiscretions are about to cost him the love of his life. He needs to do a 360 degree turn around with his life. He hopes he can find the strength to tame his unbridled spirit. Blue Holiday's political reign is coming to an end, but an opportunity to pursue his life long dream has presented itself. Rodeo had always been his secret passion. Age might keep him off the back of a bull, but the power of clout runs thick in his veins. There were other ways to enjoy the sport that would be very gratifying. Buck Holiday is fed up with standing in his father's larger than life shadow. He wants to be his own man, make his own decisions, enjoy his own successes, or, suffer his own failures. The foursome sign on the dotted line, contracting their hearts and souls, sweat and tears toward the creation of the catalyst for their desires to be fulfilled. Their lives begin evolving - change is on its way as events in the arena, as well as on the homefront, start kicking up dust. The Renegade Rodeo Company explodes onto the scene with all the glitz, thrills, and spills that could be expected in the rough rowdy gutsy world of rodeo. At first, the high voltage promising new company seems to offer the opportunity for all of their dreams to come true. However, they would all be blindsided by the horrific consequences that come blowing in on those winds of change.
