Rodeo & Juliette

Balancing both enemies-to-lovers and friends-to-lovers in one story must have been tricky—what inspired that combination, and how did it shape the romance?

The alpha, beta, omega dynamics brought a fresh twist, but I wondered how much of that was planned versus developed during writing. Did it influence character choices?

The rodeo scenes felt so vivid and authentic; I'm curious if the author has a background in rodeo or if it was all creative imagination.
