His Ninth Promise - Liz Isaacson

He's a fun-loving rodeo trainer with a heart of gold who can't stay in one place for too long. She's lost her family farm and simply wants a place to call home. Can friends and opposites Tucker and Bobbie Jo find a way to make their dreams align?

Tucker Hammond has been adrift since his best friend told him he wasn't going to rejoin the rodeo circuit after an injury that brought them both home to small town Ivory Peaks. Tuck needs another client to train and manage, because he's slowly suffocating by staying in one place for so long.

He needs purpose and a sense of fulfillment. His father reminds him that he still hasn't done anything with his inheritance, as all Hammonds are given a large sum of money and tasked to do something good with it.

He's helping his CEO cousin when he runs into Bobbie Jo Hanks-literally. He spills his soda all over her, and her fiery, salty personality lights up his whole world. So it's no wonder that he rushes to get her a fresh set of clothes...and then plans a date.

Thankfully, she's broken up with her long-distance boyfriend now, and Tuck's long-time crush can finally be realized. As they explore their budding romance through rooftop picnics and hikes in the Rocky Mountains, it's clear their connection runs deeper than friendship.

But then, an exciting new rodeo client has Tuck packing his bags again. He's not sure how to blend his desire to build a rodeo training and management empire and give Bobbie Jo the safety and security of a home.

Good thing he has all that money...

But Bobbie Jo resists the idea of Tuck buying his way into her life. Can she work through her reservations to realize he's not trying to buy her love-he's offering her a home and his heart? And, before it's too late, can Tuck realize that the greatest journey of all is the one that leads him back to Bobbie Jo's side?
