After
witnessing his mother’s death, a once outgoing preschooler is now a quiet
shadow of himself. The little boy suffers nightmares and rarely speaks,
choosing to use the basic sign language he learned in daycare. Desperate to
help his little nephew, Virge Stevens takes a leave of absence from the LAPD to
bring Donovan, known as D to Montana for the therapy he needs.
A
chance meeting at the library changes Virge and his nephew’s lives forever.
Jared Malone
is one of five brothers, right smack damn in the middle. He is the peacemaker
and the one who gets shit done. When his younger brother gets sick, Jared fills
in reading to small children at the library. There he encounters a tall, dark,
and handsome stranger and his cute little boy. Jared is immediately drawn to
Virge but is still dealing with the betrayal of an abusive ex.
As the
Malone family welcomes them to the ranch and into their lives, Virge’s instant
attraction for Jared grows, but the cowboy is fifteen years younger than him.
Will he be rejected?
Both
men have secrets. Secrets that could destroy the connection between them. Can
they overcome the odds and find happiness together?
Excerpt:
Another blond cowboy stood in the middle, working with a
horse. He had a long rope around its neck, guiding it around the ring at a
quick clip. The shirtless cowboy spoke in a firm yet quiet tone. Virge nearly
choked on his tongue, eyeing the golden skin and muscles on display. This was their cowboy.
The man whistled, and the horse stopped. He rubbed its
shoulder, his back to them, as they reached the ring’s split-rail fence.
“Daddy!” D shrieked, and the horse whinnied and shied,
bumping into the man as it swung around.
“Whoa, easy, Spike,” the cowboy soothed.
Virge struggled to prevent his nephew from launching out of
his arms while the cowboy calmed the large, skittish animal. He’d never been
near a horse and was struck by its size and power, which the other man
skillfully controlled. As the cowboy turned, Virge saw a tattoo on his chest. A
redwing blackbird with a rainbow-hued ribbon dangling from its beak. His heart
beat a little faster seeing the colorful ink. Could he be gay? The cowboy
handed the rope to a dark-haired man before pulling on a T-shirt that stretched
tight over those muscles. He suppressed a disappointed sigh.
Nate chuckled. “You’ve got some explaining to do, bro.”
“Hi, I’m Jared. I remember you from the library.” He
approached with a rolling gait Virge found extremely sexy and offered his hand
after wiping it against his denim-clad thigh. Damn, he was built all over and
tall, just an inch or two shorter than his own height.
Virge shook his hand, hyperaware of the firm grasp of warm,
work-hardened skin. “I’m Virge, and this is Donovan. He goes by D.”
“Glad you could make it out—”
“Why did he call Jared daddy?” Nate interrupted.
“He calls all men daddy and women mommy. If he especially
likes someone, he adds their first names. D doesn’t talk much, so he must like
Jared.” What about this cowboy had inspired his nephew to talk?
