Rodeo and Juliet
Book 1 of the Sunny Ridge, Montana series
110 pages · First published 2021
A ranch-country heroine with strong opinions about rodeo life finds herself repeatedly thrown together with a cowboy whose profession embodies exactly the risks she would rather avoid. Competition and family ties keep their paths crossing until irritation gives way to an attraction neither can comfortably dismiss. The rodeo circuit makes commitment difficult because danger, travel, and ambition are built into the hero’s chosen life. Linda Ford’s Western romance uses a playful Shakespearean title for a clean courtship shaped by cowboy culture, family concerns, and the question of whether love can survive a life lived in the arena.
