Rodeo Queen of Regret County: BOOK FIVE (Soreass Creek 5)

Jessie June LaBelle didn’t just lose the Rodeo Queen crown.
She lost her dignity, her boyfriend, and—depending on who you ask—her sense of balance when her flag routine ended in actual flames.

One minute she was waving to the crowd.
The next, her borrowed pony was choking on firework smoke and the grandstand was screaming like the circus had come to town.

Now she’s broke, banned from Tractor Supply, and starring in her mama’s new country song, Boots, Booze, and Bad Decisions.
It’s catchy. It’s also about her.

But Soreass Creek loves a comeback story almost as much as it loves gossip.
So when Jessie sees the flyer for the Last-Chance Rodeo, she doesn’t hesitate—until she spots the head judge’s name.

Her ex-boyfriend’s new wife.
Perfect.

The competition is stacked with her enemies, the entry fee costs more than she’s got in her bank account, and the prize money is the only thing standing between her and moving back into her grandma’s spare room.

Still, Jessie’s never been one to back down from a fight… even if it’s in an arena full of people who’d pay good money to watch her fail.
And even if a certain golden retriever keeps stealing her lunch.

That golden retriever is Booger—local legend, bread-roll thief, and chaos magnet.
When he’s not raiding the pie table, he’s chasing a goat straight into the path of Maggie, the newcomer who’s about to turn his tail and his heart upside down.

Jessie didn’t come looking for romance—especially not someone else’s.
But in Soreass Creek, other people’s business has a way of becoming your own.

Between the Illegal Fireworks Rodeo, a lake party gone wrong, and a chili cook-off that ends in a fistfight, Jessie’s got enough on her plate to fill a fairground.
Unfortunately, half of it is humble pie.

She’ll have to ride harder, think faster, and dodge more trouble than a rodeo clown on double pay.
Because in Soreass Creek, you don’t just win back your crown—you earn your place in the gossip file.

And Jessie June is about to make the front page.
