"the way you make my heart race is more than what any bull could do"

I saw him standing around the shoots. His icy eyes met mine. And for a split-second. I felt like I matter. #WATTYS2018

EDITED (will be rewritten soon. I feel it needs more adult scenes and seems childish in some parts.) {A cowboy's hands are as strong as steel as tough as leather but soft enough to touch a hummingbirds wing and the skin of a woman and not disturb the beauty of either.} Alaina Jackson, known to most now as Lane Stokes, is a bull rider. The only female that can put a man to shame when it comes to that eight second ride. She has suffered many things throughout her life. Thing's that no person should ever have to endure. She's has lost people close to her. Been abused by an alcoholic father. Fallen in love with one man only have him break her heart. Now she swears she'll never love again. She had been broken beyond repair. Just when she had gotten her life back together... He... came back. The one man that owned her heart and soul still to this day. So what happens when he comes walking back into her life? And what happens when he finds out she'd kept a secret from him? A big secret.

As one of Georgia's most successful ranchers, Rhye Collins doesn't have time to even consider dating, but that changes when he meets Katrina Davis. When he sees the beautiful, but broken, girl. It is an instant attraction. It isn't a sexual attraction, but an urge to protect the innocent beauty from a horrible past and an even less desirable future. When he finds out her caregiver is trying to force her into a marriage with a man who thinks she is useless, he steps in and does the only thing a southern cowboy can do and asks her to marry him. Katrina quickly accepts his offer, but doesn't believe she can be the wife he deserves. She has been brought up to believe a woman's place was in the home. A wife, by her definition, is someone who can cook, clean and bare children, things she has never been able to do, not that she has been given the chance. Rhye doesn't believe that, he feels a marriage is a partnership and he is so proud that God gave him Katrina as a partner, but can he convince her of that? Find out in "My Cowboy, My Hero".
