Jack Jay Hayes used to ride bulls for a living-until one bad ride took everything from him. His career. His confidence. His belief that he deserves more than the quiet, lonely life he's built on his family's Texas ranch.
Eva Lopes isn't supposed to be here.
With her parents off chasing a dream vacation, she spends winter break at her best friend's family ranch-surrounded by horses, memories she's avoided for years, and emotions she doesn't have the energy to unpack.
One tequila-fueled night at the local bar changes everything.
One empty seat.
One devastatingly handsome cowboy with haunted eyes.
One moment that ignites a craving neither of them can shake.
Jay knows better than to want her- and runs before desire turns into something dangerous.
Eva knows better than to forget him-especially after the way he made her feel.
But in a town where everyone knows everyone, avoiding each other isn't an option. And when fate keeps pulling them back together, resisting might be harder than giving in.
After the Ride is a spicy small-town cowboy romance about chemistry that burns fast, wounds that run deep, and choosing love when staying feels riskier than running.
