Miles to Go

He’s a fallen rodeo star struggling to find his footing. She’s a pint-sized therapist with big dreams and an even bigger heart. When their paths collide in small-town Three Rivers, can these opposites find a way to heal what’s broken—both within themselves and each other?

Tyson Greene thought he’d be riding high his entire life—literally. But a devastating rodeo injury has left him partially paralyzed, losing his hearing, and nursing a broken heart after his long-time girlfriend left. Returning to his family’s ranch in Three Rivers, Ty throws himself into physical therapy, horse training, and classes at the local Deaf Academy, desperate to piece his shattered life back together.

Enter Winona Landry, the quirky new physical therapist with a penchant for printed scrubs and food combos that defy logic. With her sunny personality and relentless optimism, she’s everything Ty doesn’t want to deal with—especially when she’s bossing him around the therapy room and pushing him to confront the emotional pain he’s been avoiding. And while Winnie swears she’s just doing her job, something about the grumpy cowboy with the fiery determination to keep going makes her want to go above and beyond to help.

When Ty’s insecurities collide with Winnie’s stubborn determination, sparks fly, and not the good kind—at first. But as Winnie begins to show Ty the beauty of embracing imperfection and the importance of leaning on others, Ty starts to see her in a new light. When she offers to help him navigate his new world at the Deaf Academy, the forced proximity stokes a flame neither of them expected.

Can a grumpy tortured cowboy and a tiny ray of sunshine find common ground in their differences? Or will their love story end before it even begins?

The Cowboy Who Rode Hard is a tender, heartwarming Christian romance about faith, redemption, and learning that broken doesn’t mean unworthy—and that life’s sweetest moments often come when you least expect them.
