Cody
She was my childhood friend. The one person outside of my family that I could always count on. Fate drew us apart, but when my life was turned upside down, it brought us back together. And, much like when we were kids, she made it right again.
Payton had a way of soothing more than just the wounds that were skin deep.
There’s one small problem, I’m not sure that I want to be just her friend anymore.
Payton
He was my childhood friend. The one who always accepted me for me.
For years, I didn’t realize my life was missing anything and, then Cody came back into it.
Just like when we were kids, he brought all the pieces back together. He made me feel things
I didn’t know I could feel. How can I be his friend when I want so much more?
I won’t be his buckle bunny.
Adjusting to very different lives, Cody and Payton need to decide if what is between them is
worth fighting for. From small towns to the big city, they’re not the same people they once were.
worth fighting for. From small towns to the big city, they’re not the same people they once were.
Can a childhood friendship become so much more?
Only time will tell.
After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love!
My Thoughts…
His Last Ride is a story of friends who have an attraction
to each other but are afraid to take the jump in fear of losing their
friendship. Yet, how can two people who
belong to each other, love each other, and need each other possibly fight the
attraction?
This is the story of Cody and Payton. They were friends as children, always having
each other’s backs. Cody’s career as a
bull rider has come to an end and his life is unhinged. He has moved to the city, not knowing that
Payton also lives there, to find a new life.
Payton is exactly what Cody needs and she doesn’t realize how much she
needs him too.
I am entirely hooked
on the 425 Madison Series. Each book in
this series is entirely a standalone book with their own characters. The common thread is the setting of 425
Madison.
Excerpt

“Come on, slowpoke!” I yelled at the brown-haired fifteen-year-old girl following me.
“Your legs are longer than mine, jerk,” she retorted on a huff. “Slow down.”
I turned and checked on her, she was climbing the hill easily behind me. Her face was flush
from our run up the lower portion, and her blue eyes sparkling. She looked more relaxed then
I’d seen her all summer. Normally, Payton, or Pay as I called her, was as laid back as they came.
This summer for some reason when she’d shown up, she’d been different. More reserved.

This summer for some reason when she’d shown up, she’d been different. More reserved.
“If we don’t hurry, we’re going to miss it,” I chided, reaching my hand out for hers.
She looked up, and when she saw my hand, her cheeks turned a darker shade of pink.
I shook it with a ‘take it’ look on my face, with a roll of her eyes, she did intertwining our
fingers. I picked up the pace again and brought her along with me.

A minute later, we reached the top and plopped down on the large rock. She broke the
connection of our hands and sat on hers. I missed it instantly, but let it go. As we’d gotten older,
the simple things we used to do together turned a little weird. I wasn’t sure why. We were
friends.

the simple things we used to do together turned a little weird. I wasn’t sure why. We were
friends.
“I’m going to miss this,” she whispered wistfully, taking in the landscape.
We were sitting at the top of a hill that overlooked some of the pastures on my
grandparent’s property. It gave us the perfect view of the mountains and the sunset. On the
last day of the summer, we would come up here and sit. We had flashlights in our backpacks
for the walk back.

for the walk back.
“Me too,” I agreed. “But there is always next summer.”
Payton had been coming to visit her grandmother every summer since she was five. The
two of us clicked immediately. Our grandmothers started this tradition of bringing us up here,
we continued it on our own when we turned ten. Swearing we didn’t need them to babysit us.
Since it was only a mile from one of the barns on our property, they hadn’t argued.

“Right,” she sighed sadly.
“Something you aren’t telling me?”
“Not that I know of,” Pay replied. “Mom is just acting weird when I bring up coming back.
Told Gram we would talk about it later.”
Told Gram we would talk about it later.”
My breath caught. The idea of not seeing her made my chest hurt. I counted on summers
with Payton. Sure, I had friends in school, but there was something about her. I didn’t have to
put on an act. I could just be me with her.

The sunset that night was beyond amazing. Purples, pinks, reds, and oranges swirled
together, putting on a show that I’d never forget. When the colors started to fade and the sun
started to dip below the mountain in front of us, I felt Pay slide her hand back into mine. I
looked over and saw tears leaving trails down her face. Squeezing her hand, I faced forward
again and put up a silent prayer; this wouldn’t be the last time we did this.
