Raindrops and Saddles
(2026)(The sixth book in the Kingsleys Sweet Short Stories series)
A novel by JC Savoy
She swore off saddles. He swore off the circuit. But love has other plans.
Fletcher Hines swore he was done chasing eight seconds of glory. With a busted shoulder and a future he can’t quite face, quiet work at Blue Spur Ranch seems like the perfect hiding place—no arenas, no crowds, just horses…and the ache he won’t admit.
Simone Woodley hasn’t touched a saddle since the fall that shattered her riding career and her confidence. But when her vet friend nudges her toward Blue Spur to snap a few photos, she doesn’t expect to run into a wrangler who reads horses better than people—and who sees straight through her defenses.
As Fletch coaxes Simone back to the rail and into the round pen, she forces him to imagine a life beyond the rodeo chute. But when a summer storm hits and one rain-soaked ride changes everything, both are faced with the same choice: cling to the fear that’s kept them safe…or risk everything for the chance to heal together.
Heartfelt, romantic, and filled with small-town ranch charm, Raindrops and Saddles is a sweet short story about second chances, quiet courage, and love that’s worth holding on to.
Genre: Romance
