Risking it All: The Rosewoods - Bonus Content, #2

By Katrina Abbott

Things are not going well for Brady Fleming, Rosewood equestrian coach and Olympic hopeful. Thanks to a careless fall off his horse, he is now on crutches - out of training and a job. Not to mention he’s had to promise Brooklyn he’ll back off so they could be just friends, which is the last thing he wants. The worst part is he knows she’s into him too; she’s as much as admitted it. And that kiss… There is no denying their chemistry after that kiss at the costume dance. But he can’t date a student and he balked when she asked him if he was willing to risk it all to be with her. Now that his job and training are on hold, his outlook has changed and he’s beginning to realize what really matters and what he wants from his life.

Maybe that girl who showed up on campus and turned his heart inside out is worth risking everything for after all.

Read Risking it All, a short story from Brady’s perspective, in preparation for Making Ripples, The Rosewoods book 6 which releases in January 2015!

I forgive you.

I looked up from my phone and the text she’d just sent to where Brooklyn sat across the dining hall, wishing I could get up out of my seat and pull her into my arms.

To kiss her was asking too much, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about it.

Actually, just hobbling over to her on my one good foot was probably asking too much. But I’d crawl over a mountain on my hands and knees if it meant I could be with her.

What was it about this girl that had me so twisted up?

On paper, she wasn’t what anyone would consider remarkable: brown hair and eyes, average size and frame.

But just looking at her made me breathless. I wanted her so badly I’d almost thrown everything away for her. More than once.

I’d already been coaching at Rosewood for a year when I’d met her, so I was used to girls looking at me that way. At first it was flattering—what guy wouldn’t want a school full of girls showing interest and flirting with him—but it
