Bull Dust & Broken Rules: Slow-Burn Rodeo Romance

Bull Dust and Broken Rules is a bold, saucy and deeply romantic Australian Outback novel set against the raw, honest beauty of far-western New South Wales. Nora Callahan built Barrara Station from nothing, eight thousand acres of Darling River country, earned by years of hard work, stubbornness and a refusal to be anything less than full-sized. She answers to nobody, needs nobody, and has absolutely no use for a charming, rootless bull rider who shows up on her doorstep when her last stockman quits. Cooper Walsh has spent eight years on the professional rodeo circuit because bulls don't care who you were last week, every ride is only what you are right now, and that clean, eight-second version of living suits a man who has never stayed anywhere long enough to unpack. He takes the stockman job because he needs a few weeks off the circuit. He stays because Nora Callahan is the first person he has ever met who is entirely, completely, unapologetically herself, and she is completely impossible to walk away from. What begins as a reluctant employment arrangement becomes a slow-burning, saucy, emotionally charged love story between two equally strong, equally stubborn people who refuse to make anything simple and find, in the refusing, something neither of them planned and neither can live without. Spanning twenty-two years from that first Wednesday morning at five fifty-five to a life and family deeply rooted in the red dirt of far-western New South Wales, Bull Dust and Broken Rules is a celebration of self-made women, wandering men who find their way home, and the extraordinary love that grows when two people finally decide to stop breaking the right rules.
