He can play a cowboy. She’s going to make him ride like one.
British actor Rhys Maddox is the face on the side of every bus in the world, the star of a superhero franchise he can’t stand. Now he’s landed the role of his life in a prestige western shooting in Big Timber, Montana. There’s just one problem: his agent told the producers he could ride.
He can’t. He’s been afraid of horses since a pony bit him on a beach in Yorkshire when he was five.
Wren Haldane starts colts and fixes problem horses outside Melville, and she’s about to lose her lease. She’s never seen one of his movies. She doesn’t watch movies. She’s taking this job for the money, and she has one rule about men like him: don’t let anybody stay who’s going to leave.
He has sixteen days to learn to gallop on camera. She starts him on a twenty-six-year-old pony who lies down.
