Roping Melanie by Melissa Ellen

Eight seconds.

That’s all it took to change a man’s world. Sometimes even less. I knew this better than anyone. Every time I got on a bull’s back was a gamble. In eight seconds or less, I could be walking away after the ride of my life, or not breathing at all. Every ride meant life or death. But I never felt fear climbing onto some of the meanest and toughest bulls in the world. There was no place for fear in the rodeo.

That shit didn’t scare me.

What scared a man like me?

Three words.

Three words, mere seconds, and my whole world changed.

“She’s your daughter.”
