Spurred On

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. A girls’ weekend in Vegas to celebrate me finally passing my nursing boards—what could go wrong?A lot. Like accidentally marrying the star of bull riding, Maverick Ryder. I’m sure you’re wondering how someone gets accidentally married. Answer: a mechanical bull and way too many margaritas. I’ve spent the last ten years of my life in survival mode, and just when things are supposed to get easier, I’m uprooting my life on judges orders and moving to Windy Peaks, Wyoming, until they grant us a divorce. Windy Peaks is nothing like I thought it would be, and neither is Maverick.Underneath his go-lucky demeanor is a man with scars on his heart that look a whole lot like the ones on mine. Like calls to like and before I know it, I’m so wrapped up in him that I forgot why I shouldn’t do this. When the fears of losing yet another person I love become way too real, will the man I love choose me? Or will he become just another thing for me to lose?
