Saga | Women's Fiction

Valerie “Val” Champion has come home with so many secrets that she plans never to reveal to family or the man she’s been in love with all her life. She left to become an actress, and leaving the love of her life hurt. A trip to Las Vegas and the Professional Bull Riding Championship will bring her secrets back into her life.

Casey Bozeman thought he’d finally began to move on from the woman who left him behind. He's now working as a bullfighter in Las Vegas at the PBR Championship. When he realizes that the woman he’s always loved is in danger, he vows that he’s going to protector whether she wants him to or not. These two people will have to face the past to come to terms with the present that just may give them a future they’ve always thought they wouldn’t have. Lies, secrets, and danger will bring Valerie Champion and Casey Bozeman a whiplash of emotions that just may tear them apart forever.

Janet Dailey continues her Champions series with WHIPLASH, the story of middle daughter Valerie (Val) Champion. A woman returns to her home on the family ranch to try and overcome her problems. A trip to Las Vegas with the family will bring up a long-held dangerous secret and reconnecting with the love of her life. Casey Bozeman is a hero and saves bull riders for a living. He’s strong and courageous but when it comes to the woman he’s loved all his life he’ll do whatever it takes to win her back and find out all her secrets. But these secrets will be the catalyst for turning the Champion family's lives upside down. Val’s past will come into the present and follow her home. Tension runs high when half-truths are told. Val is someone who wants to keep her family safe will face her past from the danger that has followed her.

WHIPLASH takes the reader into the lives of small stock contractors who are hoping that their bulls will make their ranch into a profitable business and get them into the elite world of the PBR. Along the way, they’ll have highs and lows. Just as they seem to resolve one problem another comes up that they must tackle. WHIPLASH gives the reader a look into the world of bull riding and that of the bullfighter as a backdrop of a suspenseful story of love, lies, and secrets. These unique determined characters work through old hurts. Janet Dailey's writing shows you a very unique view of ranch life and behind the scenes into professional bull riding and bullfighting. Dailey fans will love getting a deeper look into this unique family of ranchers and their journey through their fight to make it a profitable business and trying to bring themselves into the select world of PBR stock contractors. If you love Janet Dailey's stories then this is a must-read. And if you’re a new reader to Janet Dailey, WHIPLASH is a great way to start, along with the first book in the Champion series, WHIRLWIND. I’m looking to reading the third and oldest sister’s book.

When Val Champion returns to the family ranch, she’s ready to put her past behind her. Her dreams of a Hollywood acting career have become a nightmare of fear.

Face to face with her first and only true love, Val can’t deny her still powerful feelings for Casey. Feelings she can never act on again…
 
Val’s the one who got away, the woman who broke his heart so hard he still feels the sting. But there’s no denying Casey’s still drawn to the fiery beauty. And there’s no way he can stand by when the high stakes Professional Bull Riding finals in Vegas bring out the danger Val’s been running from. Suddenly the rugged cowboy is willing to risk it all for her once more, even if it means facing down those secrets lurking in her unforgettable eyes…
