Renegade: Rodeo Knights, A Western Romance Novel (SEAL Team: Disavowed Book 5) Read online

  To mark the end of our stay, we attended a local small town rodeo. All I remember is meeting a rodeo queen and receiving her autographed photo--which I still have. She was the most glamorous woman I had ever seen, and a barrel racer, and I couldn’t wait to grow up to be just like her!

  Alas . . . I was a city slicker and when my parents tried enrolling me for dude ranch the next summer, we discovered it had closed. They sent me to a new ranch, but it wasn't the same. My barrel racing career was officially over.

  Fast forward dozens of years and I've written dozens of books--many with horses named Smoky Joe--including my newest release, Renegade! Oddly enough, my family and I now live thirty minutes from my former dude ranch. One lazy Sunday afternoon while out for a drive, we stumbled across Skull Hill. The cabins were abandoned and the pool dry. The barn had almost caved in and the dirt drive was weed-choked and gated. I had a little cry, but then spotted a horse-filled pasture. I picked a horse that looked like my sweet Smoky and blew him a kiss. The grown-up in me knows it probably wasn't him, but in my heart and stories, Smoky Joe and I will forever take long trail rides and win every race . . .
