Kentucky ranch cozy mystery rodeo murder.
Secrets buckle tighter in Kentucky horse country.
When Cussy Hollingsworth inherits her late uncle's struggling ranch, she is determined to save Bluegrass Ridge Ranch from financial ruin. The annual Bluegrass Ridge Ranch Revival Rodeo is supposed to bring in enough tourists, sponsors, and prize money to keep the family land alive for another season.
Instead, it brings murder.
When glamorous rodeo queen Vanessa Hartwell is found dead during the festival, whispers spread through the barns and stock pens faster than wildfire. Vanessa knew too many secrets, crossed too many rivals, and left behind a long list of suspects hiding behind polished boots and championship smiles.
As Cussy digs deeper into the dangerous rivalries surrounding the rodeo circuit, she uncovers gambling debts, family betrayals, altered breeding records, old affairs, and grudges buried deep in Kentucky horse country. The closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that someone will do anything to protect the legacy tied to Bluegrass Ridge Ranch.
With Sheriff Wade closing in on suspects, the gossip mill running full speed at the Bluegrass Griddle, and rugged ranch manager Colt Morgan standing firmly by her side, Cussy must untangle the lies before another deadly ride begins.
Because at Bluegrass Ridge Ranch, the most dangerous thing in the arena is not always the bull.
Perfect for readers who love:

- Strong female amateur sleuths
- Slow-burn small-town romance
- Southern family secrets and scandals
