The Price Between Us

a cowboy rodeo-star romance with a bachelor auction twist

Sawyer

My life is measured in eight-second increments, over and over until I’ve won every bull-riding buckle there is. But when the lights fade, the cost of chasing glory is a bad knee, five weeks until the World Finals, and nothing waiting for me at home.

Then Phoenix Morgan bids on me at a bachelor auction and buys herself a cowboy. Not for a date—as a mentor to her kid brother. A last shot at keeping him out of trouble before a judge decides his future.

I should’ve walked. But the more time I spend with them, the more I want to stay. Phoenix is everything I never knew I wanted—and she makes me feel like a hero, even when she’s the only one watching.

And that’s the problem. Falling for Phoenix means risking the only career I’ve ever had. Letting me in means risking the fragile world she’s built to keep her brother safe.

The buzzer’s coming, and this time it’s not about my ride—it’s about whether love is worth the price of everything.

The Price Between Us is a just kisses, no-spice, emotional cowboy romance set in small-town Montana—full of slow-burn tension, family stakes, and a love worth betting everything on.
