Books like A Cowboy's Heart by Rebecca Winters

When barrel racing finalist Liz Henson finally gets a chance to hitch a ride to Las Vegas with Cowboy of the Year Connor Bannock, she discovers more than a new adventure—she finds herself facing her childhood crush and the long‑standing feud between their families. Liz, a dedicated veterinarian who cares for the horses she loves, sees the trip as a stepping‑stone to rodeo fame, hoping to keep her dream alive before she returns to her veterinary practice. Connor Bannock, a five‑time champion steer wrestler, is at the peak of his career, about to retire from the circuit. Though a divorced rancher, he is reluctant to return alone to the ranch. As the road trip unfolds, Liz and Connor must navigate not only the high‑stakes world of rodeo but also their own feelings, old rivalries, and the possibility of rekindled love—and maybe a fresh start for both.
