Ride the Cowboy synopsis
She's his best friend's daughter. She's twenty-one to his forty-three. She's engaged to another man. And she's about to make him break every rule he's ever lived by.
When a doctored scandal destroys Manhattan socialite Adison's reputation overnight, her father ships her to Texas for two months of "character building" on his best friend's ranch. No money, no escape, and definitely no seducing Jake Sullivan—the devastatingly hot, forty-three-year-old rancher who's supposed to teach her humility.
He owes her father, including protecting his wild daughter from making mistakes. Even if she's the biggest temptation he's ever faced. Even if every lingering touch and heated look is unraveling two decades of carefully maintained control.
But Adison didn't survive being publicly destroyed just to play it safe. As their hostile sparks ignite into an undeniable attraction, their clash of worlds becomes a dangerous game. Jake is tormented by a past that ties him to her family and tries to push her away, convinced she's just a ghost from his past.
Yet, Adison's bravery forces him to choose: protect his past or risk everything for a love that could either destroy them both or finally set them free.

Adison’s POV
Three a.m. scrubbing at my face like I could erase the last six hours along with my foundation, and the thing about scandal is—it moves faster than you do.
My phone kept lighting up on the marble counter. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. A metronome of social execution.
I didn't need to look to know what was happening. The photos Marcus doctored were already viral. Me, allegedly wrapped around my best friend's fiancé in a coat check room at the Metropolitan Museum gala.
But the internet doesn't care about the truth. It cares about the spectacle.
So I chose ice. Because ice didn't crack. Ice didn't beg.
Ice certainly didn't explain that this asshole had cornered me in a museum corridor himself. His hand on my throat and his other hand somewhere it had no fucking right to be.
The Metropolitan Museum's charity gala had been my stage for years—I knew every marble column, every shadowed alcove. I'd thought I was safe there.
Stupid.
Men like Marcus didn't need permission or privacy; they simply took what they wanted and rewrote history to suit their narrative.
The texts kept coming. Friends who weren't really friends, choosing sides like it was a game show. ‘Bitch, what were you thinking?’ and ‘Marcus said you've been obsessed with him for months’ and my personal favorite, ‘I always knew you were a whore.’
Nobody asked for my side. Nobody ever does when the narrative is this good.
I'd learned young that explanations were weakness. That society girls who defended themselves too loudly were labeled difficult and hysterical. Desperate.
Better to be ice. Better to let them wonder.
