One Trick Pony

"Set in the cowboy country of Wyoming, a gritty, sexy, fiercely feminine novel of rodeo stars, ranchers, roughnecks, and the hard-drinking, hard-loving women who make their lives in a Western landscape determined to break their hearts. A brain in love is not to be trusted. August Sheehan knows that, but she's still a teenage girl, drunk on love for the neighbor kid, leaving him notes snagged on the barbed wire fence between their properties. When a dust storm blows through, stranding August's father in the town of Heartbreak, she finally lets George Mooney into her bed and wakes up with a gun in her face, betrayed for the oil claim beneath her family's land. Decades later, Brooke Mooney and Meg Sheehan are such close friends they might as well be married, running their ranches side-by-side, lambing, shearing, branding, and then cooking up the bull testicles with heavy cream for calf fry gravy. So, what if Meg's family owns their mineral rights while Brooke's does not?
