8 Second Decision

Merek Slatter is the wild card on the Silver Star Ranch in Texas and always has been. He's blessed with his granddaddy's love of the ranch, yet haunted with chasing that gold buckle eight seconds at a time.

Tensions are high on the ranch when circumstances threaten to take it under. His dad and brothers pressure him to stay home and become an active cowboy on the ranch. However, Merek is addicted to the road and rodeo. He's home anytime he can be and provides plenty of money to keep the family ranch afloat, but sometimes it takes more than what's in the bank to protect tradition.

Now home on a three-month break, Merek finds himself all tied up with the new girl in town. She's quiet and reserved but there's something about Challis' green eyes and feisty attitude that makes her irresistible. When he runs into her at a rodeo and catches a glimpse of her on horseback all hopes of leaving her alone flies out the window.

There are several rumors floating around town about her, however that doesn't stop Merek from going after what he wants. He knows she's off limits and only full of trouble, but Merek thrives on trouble and adrenaline.

Then the road calls again and it's time to leave.
