The Hearts We’ve Broken
There are only three things Mikey Tucker chases: danger, buckles, and buckle bunnies. With no intentions of settling down, he likes living life on the edge. In fact, he thrives on the edge. But after claims by the media that he’s distracted and pressure from his friends, he’s determined to prove them wrong.
Juniper Ray built her future around the boy she thought she’d spend forever with…until she catches him sleeping with her best friend. Fleeing to a small town in Montana, she’s ready for a clean slate, a new start. When she sees the bull rider who her now ex-best friend once had a fling with, she hatches a plan to get her revenge.
Juniper approaches Mikey at Rudy’s bar with a proposition, and there’s no way he can turn her down. They create an arrangement that meets both of their needs, no strings attached, no feelings necessary. Their biggest rule: don’t fall in love and no one gets hurt.
As the stakes rise and boundaries are crossed, they become tangled in a PR stunt that extends their relationship. It was always meant to be temporary. But hearts don’t know the difference between real and fake, and rules were always meant to be broken.

What Readers Are Saying
-
The tension of the high-stakes rodeo events contrasts beautifully with the quieter, more intimate moments between Juniper and Mikey, and the book does a great job balancing the action with the emotional depth of the characters’ journeys. The book keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Mikey and Juniper were practically made for one another, and were the perfect match for each other. Their relationship may have started as fake, but you fall in love with them just as quickly as they fall for one another.
