Roped and Tied

Dani Harrison has always dreamed of escaping her small Texas hometown to see the world from the passenger seat of a rodeo champion's truck. When she marries the charismatic and talented Jake "The Snake" O'Brien, it seems her childhood fantasy has come true.

But behind the glittering belt buckles and championship saddles lies a volatile relationship that quickly spirals into a dangerous cycle of abuse, infidelity, and self-destruction. As Jake's career soars to unprecedented heights, their marriage becomes a gilded cage from which Dani cannot escape.

When a devastating accident ends Jake's championship run, the carefully constructed facade of their life together begins to crumble. Trapped in a marriage that has become more prison than partnership, Dani must finally confront the choices that led her here—and find the courage to forge a new path.

Spanning decades across the changing landscape of professional rodeo, "Roped & Tied" is an unflinching exploration of a marriage unraveling thread by thread. From the dusty arenas of small-town Texas to the bright lights of Las Vegas, this powerful novel examines how the dreams that bind us can ultimately break us—and how sometimes walking away is the bravest choice of all.

Raw, honest, and deeply moving, this story delves into the complexities of love, loyalty, and the price of chasing rodeo glory at any cost. If you enjoyed "Lonesome Dove," "All the Pretty Horses," and "My Absolute Darling," you'll love "Roped & Tied."
