If the woman who promised forever could walk away after the worst day of his life... maybe forever ain't meant for him.

For nearly thirty years, Jackson “JB” Brignac lived and breathed the rodeo circuit. PRCA bull riding turned him into a household name across the South. He had sponsors, magazine covers, championship buckles, and a wedding planned with the woman he’d loved for almost a decade.

Then came the ride.

A bull threw him headfirst into the arena fence before trampling him. He survived, but the damage to his neck, shoulder, and spine ended his career overnight. Doctors called him lucky. JB didn’t feel lucky. The surgeries healed. His body recovered. But the future he’d spent years building was gone.

Six months later, his fiancée left. She insisted it wasn’t because he couldn’t ride anymore — said they’d “grown apart,” that they wanted different things. Deep down... JB never believed her. A part of him has always wondered if she would’ve stayed had he still been the champion everyone admired instead of a retired cowboy learning how to walk without pain. So he never proposed again. Never really dated. Never gave another woman the chance to leave first.
