A professor’s one-night stand with a bull rider leads to a wild ride when they meet again in a sizzling romance by the New York Times bestselling author. A single look at the leggy blonde in the stands and rodeo cowboy Tucker Jenkins is ready to buck all night long. It's time to forget all about his cheating ex and his usual hands-off policy. It’s a care-free night of unbridled passion: no strings attached—and no contact info exchanged. An English professor from the East Coast, Becca Hart isn’t your average buckle bunny. But no advanced degree could prepare her for Tuck’s moves in the arena—or in bed. But most shocking of all is when she finds herself sitting across from him at her first Oklahoma State University staff meeting. Once they’ve reconnected, Tuck knows it's all about holding on. Now he just has to convince Becca that a rough start out of the chute doesn't mean they can’t go the distance. "A sweet and hot hero you'll want to keep around for longer than one night!"—Lorelei James New York Times bestselling contemporary western romance author of the Rough Riders and Blacktop Cowboys series.

Book Description
Wrangling myself a cowboy was supposed to be a rowdy one-night stand, not turn my carefully cataloged life upside down. As a librarian, I was used to steamy romance between the pages. But as a lonesome single woman, I needed to corral some trailblazing between the sheets … Buck Off Ranch seemed like the perfect place to put on my big-girl britches and throw a plot twist in my story. Mysterious cowboy Tripp Miller was as rugged as he was handsome. After he left me tickled pink at the local saloon, I was determined to live out my favorite Western romance with him as my leading man. Rope me. Ride me. Satisfy me. Talk about sore in the saddle! It turned out, this small town had sparked quite the big adventure. I was caught somewhere between saving a horse and riding a cowboy or galloping right out of my comfort zone. I just hoped Tripp was up for the ride because I reckoned I needed more than eight seconds.

Making Circles
Author: Barney Nelson
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806169885
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
In Making Circles, Barney Nelson unveils working-class cowboy culture through the eyes of one who has lived the life she chronicles. From living on ranch camps to surviving both cowboy school and graduate school, Nelson’s story is a journey through time and place, pointing out that cowboys inhabit every continent and century, from Lakota Indians and Hawaiian paniolos to Argentine gauchos and Australian ringers, from Pegasus to Cervantes and Tolstoy. Even Thoreau called himself a cowboy. Nelson's story is both personal and expansive, guiding the reader in circles around the modern West, from Montana to Mexico. Along the way, she celebrates the many characters she has encountered and considers role models. Unafraid to challenge the status quo, Nelson fearlessly defends embattled ranchers as well as the humanities, while speaking truth to the powerful forces of environmentalism, tourism, and urban voters. Both a primer for aspiring journalists and an insider’s reflection on horse and ranching cultures, this tour de force memoir honors the practice of writing and its manifold benefits: embracing solitude, avoiding boredom, and accepting aging and death as part of human and animal life. Full of valuable tips, lessons learned and taught, and far-ranging musings on philosophy and poetry, Making Circles demonstrates brilliantly the value and meaning of the term “cowboy journalist.”
