A Western state of mind

Home Free

By

Connor Westin and Early Jericho have a comfortable, busy life in Denver. Connor is a lawyer who brings home the bacon and Early is a stay at home dad to their two young boys.

Sure, Early is a cowboy at heart, but he loves their kids and as far as Connor is concerned they’re happy in their suburban home.

When Early inherits a ranch on the Western Slope of Colorado, neither is sure what they should do about it. That is until they visit, and Connor sees just how much it all means to his husband.

Both men agree to uproot their family and take a shot at running the ranch together, but it takes time to shut down one life and start another. Early takes the boys to the ranch while Connor spends the summer in Denver to handle all the details of moving on.

Between the long distance, the new responsibilities, and interference from a not so well meaning employee, Connor and Early have trouble staying connected. Will the ranch become the home they need it to be, or will it tear their family apart?

In the Morning Light

By

Big-name bull rider Austin McPherson has no idea when he hits up a small-time rodeo in northern New Mexico that he’ll run into the man who ghosted him a year earlier. The man he thought might be worth leaving the rodeo for eventually. And he sure doesn’t expect to find out that same man has a brand new baby, either.

Jim Donoghue didn’t know what to say to Austin when his baby came along and he had to stop traveling to rodeos, following a man who wasn’t the settling down type. So he didn’t say anything. Now Austin is in his hometown, and things are getting more complicated by the minute. Can he make Austin understand why he was ready to settle down on his own? And can Austin make Jim see why he might look better in the morning light now than he ever did?

This book was previously a Your Book Boyfriend's Boyfriend title.
