A Montana Inheritance: Book One of The Rodeo in the Blood Series

Rusty Blackstone thought he had conquered the toughest arenas in rodeo, until life handed him a challenge no championship buckle could prepare him for. When Jenny, his first love, reveals a heartbreaking truth-that Rusty is the father of her five-year-old son-his world tilts. The twist? Jenny is now the ex-wife of Warren Weston, Rusty's lifelong rival in both the rodeo ring and matters of the heart... and Warren claims the boy as his own.

As Rusty grapples with fatherhood and unfinished love, fate deals him another unexpected card: the inheritance of a weathered Montana ranch, miles from the glare of competition but heavy with the weight of legacy. Meanwhile, Warren wages a bitter legal battle to reclaim the sprawling ranch he believes was stolen from him-his family's birthright, now lost in courtrooms and family feuds.

Yet even as the feud deepens and family loyalties are tested, both Rusty and Warren cling fiercely to their rodeo dreams, chasing the thrill of the arena while fighting battles far more personal outside of it. When Warren marries Rusty's sister, the two adversaries are forced to confront more than old grudges. They must navigate loyalty, pride, and the fragile threads that bind a family together-whether by blood, choice, or circumstance.

Brimming with tension, heart, and the unyielding spirit of the American West, A Montana Inheritance continues the Rodeo in the Blood saga with bold emotional stakes. Jim Overstreet brings back the grit and grace of Rusty, Warren, and the unforgettable cast of Montana ranchers and rodeo champions in a story where every turn of the dirt reveals a deeper truth about love, forgiveness, and the inheritance that truly matters.
