Every Second Counts is a good book by author D. Jackson Leigh.
Success for Marc Ryder means riding an angry bull and avoiding relationships with the beautiful women she meets along the way for eight seconds. She is the wild and reckless type that artist Bridgette LeRoy has avoided since her brother’s senseless death. Bridgette is caught up in a tumultuous ride of attraction, passion, and rejection. She realizes it’s the only way to protect her battered heart, Bridgette’s desperate quest to stop Marc’s suicide from returning to the rodeo becomes a race where every second counts.
This is a great story about rodeo and a world where women rarely get to the top. Broncos is one thing but riding a bull is another world. Marc Ryder was at the top of the game when she was stepped on and knocked over by a bull. While filming in Virginia with childhood friends, she met Bridget, the artist Ann and the instructor. They are drawn into a tumultuous relationship full of passion.
