Book Description
A fascinating account of the world of competitive steer wrestling and the talented, live-fast, bruise-hard rodeo cowboys who do it. Ty Phillips's Blacktop Cowboys chronicles the 2004 rodeo season through the eyes of several steer wrestlers trying to make it back to rodeo's version of the Super Bowl, the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas. Steer wrestling is an adventure that entails riding into an arena at 25 mph, sliding off a horse while taking hold of a 500-pound steer, and then throwing the animal to the ground. The best cowboys often accomplish all this in less than four seconds. The two main characters of Blacktop Cowboys are Luke Branquinho, a young carefree cowboy on a quest for his first title, and his best friend, Travis Cadwell, a veteran trying to make the NFR one last time. Much of Blacktop Cowboys unfolds in trucks, trailers, arenas, behind the chutes, casinos, beds and everywhere else cowboys spend their time. By taking the reader deep into the cowboys' lives, Blacktop Cowboys offers a true and intimate portrait of men having the time of their lives while living on the road in pursuit of the dream to be the best.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorelei James comes a new story in her Rough Riders/Blacktop Cowboys® series¿ A May-December romance hotter than the 4th of July¿Bull rider Justin Donohue spent his youth hell-bent on winning a world championship. Now retired and nearing the big 4-0, a gold belt buckle and a rusted-out pickup are all he has to show for his years on the blacktop. When Justin takes a job at the Gradsky Ranch, he immediately locks horns (and lips) with the sexy, sassy Calliope¿a 22 year old cowgirl set on seducing him. Reminding her of their age difference doesn¿t deter Calliope; neither does Justin¿s warning that she deserves more than a busted-up former rodeo cowboy.From the moment Calliope Morgan encounters the hot-as-fire new ranch foreman, she knows his gruff manner is an attempt to mask his attraction to her. But she¿s never backed down from a challenge, especially not when Justin¿s actions speak louder than his denials. Calliope doesn¿t give a damn that he¿s older than her or what others might think of their relationship. The uptight cowboy needs to relax and she¿ll do whatever it takes to loosen him up, proving there are no age restrictions when it comes to lust¿or to falling in love.**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it¿s an introduction to an author¿s world. And for fans, it¿s a bonus book in the author¿s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
