Some cowboys need to fall before they can get back up.

Wyatt Thompson used to be somebody.

A champion bull rider with a charming smile and a different buckle bunny in every town, he had the rodeo world at his feet—until one bad ride shattered his hip, his career, and everything he thought he knew about himself. Now he’s back in Mason, Texas, nursing his wounds with bourbon and bitterness, convinced he has nothing left to offer.

Melody Adams knows all about sacrificed dreams. She gave up a promising music career to care for her ailing mother, trading concert halls for a small-town teaching studio. She’s made peace with her choices—mostly. The last thing she needs is her new neighbor’s late-night guitar sessions disrupting her early morning lessons.

But when a family emergency throws them together, Melody sees past Wyatt’s swagger to the broken man beneath. And Wyatt discovers that the quiet music teacher next door writes songs that speak to every wound he’s trying to hide.

She’s the sheriff’s little sister—completely off-limits. He’s a washed-up cowboy with a limp and a drinking problem. Neither of them is looking for love.

But sometimes the best comebacks start with learning to fall.

The Cowboy’s Comeback is Book 2 in the Thompson Cousins Series, a spin-off of the beloved Thompson Valley Ranch Series. Return to Mason, Texas for more steamy cowboy romances featuring the extended Thompson family. Each book features a different couple with a guaranteed happily ever after and can be enjoyed as a standalone, but reading in order offers the richest experience as beloved characters reappear throughout both series.
