New Release: Silver Buckle Linings

July 2, 2024 By BA Tortuga

Buy on Amazon

When cowboy Sterling Jordan heads from his home in Aspen to Durango, Colorado, he’s looking for his sister’s baby, and he intends to take that child home with him, no matter what the situation is. Then he meets his nephew’s adoptive father, Benjamin Collier, and Benji is the last thing he expects. So he just holds off on telling Ben who he is.

When Ben discovers that Sterling has been omitting some very important parts of his history, he’s furious, but he has to admit that Sterling never out and out lied to him, and that the big name, big money cowboy is absolutely fascinating. He’s willing to let Sterling get to know his son, Xavier, but not to let the man have him, so they have to find a compromise.

The two men navigate siblings, parents, and the bad start to their relationship to find a way to be a whole new kind of family, one where silver linings come with buckles and baby blankets.

Kirsten Langdon is happy being a small-town girl. She works at the local pizza place slinging pizza and playing her guitar to whoever will listen a few nights a week. And if she wishes song-writing jobs were easier to get, well, that’s her problem.

Skyla Bridey is one of the hottest tickets in country music, but she’s burned out and tired of the hustle and bustle of the tour. So she’s taking the band to Summit Springs to figure out how to get her mojo back, and how to make her music more real again.

Sparks fly when Kirsten and Skyla meet over an evening of music, and they get to know each other quickly. Skyla admires Kirsten’s honesty and her out and proud life, but she’s not sure country music will let her go and do all the things she wants. Can the two women find enough common ground to make their life an upbeat number instead of a sad song?

Jack Boers and Hudson James had a wild affair one long weekend many years ago. But their lives were too different then to even think about something more. They’ve kept in touch, meeting up every year when the bull riding tour is in Anaheim to pick up where they left off, and spending every moment Jack isn’t in the arena in bed together.

But this year, Hudson has a plan. He’s in love with Jack, and even though he knows the cowboy has a man at every stop along the tour, he’s decided to ask for more.

Jack is an experienced, handsome cowboy, and he’s earned his reputation as a bad boy. He knows he can have any man he wants. But the last couple of years, he’s been looking forward to seeing Hudson more than he can understand. He’s really not the rambling man he used to be, and he wonders sometimes if there’s anything out there for him once he retires.

When Hudson’s plan backfires, he’s not sure how to handle the situation. Jack is just keeping his head down and working, unable to understand what is, or what’s not, happening between them. Can they figure out their communication issues before the weekend is over? Or will they be left with “see you same time next year”?

Pick Up Man is a second chance, opposites attract romance featuring a smoking hot bull riding pick-up man, and a wealthy entrepreneur.

When Kacey Lowe shows up at his friend Sam’s place in New York, it’s because he has nowhere else to go. He’s lost his shot as a bullrider, and he’s beat up as anything to boot. He doesn’t want to impose on Sam, and he and his buddy tend to get into trouble together anyway. That’s how he ends up at River’s place.

River McIntyre doesn’t really understand Kacey, but he wants to help the tough little cowboy with whatever demons he’s wrestling. He’s not sure he can, and he’s not sure Kacey can be everything he needs, but he sees past Kacey’s pain and insecurities, and knows they could have something special together if they can just figure it out.

The trouble with cowboys, River finds out, is that they might be speaking a different language than a city man like him. But if they can meet in the middle somewhere, it will be worth all the effort.

The Trouble with Cowboys is a hurt-comfort, opposites attract, D/s romance set in New York City.

The Sin Deep series is a spin off of The Cowboy and the Dom series, set in the same club.

When Marissa wins a holiday honeymoon package at a ski resort in small town Colorado, she knows she has to call them and back out of the trip. She’s not getting married, after all, since her girlfriend turned down her proposal.

When the ski resort’s marketing manager convinces her to come anyway to save his job, though, she can’t turn down a well-deserved vacation, even if it means pretending to be engaged for the photo opportunities. What she really doesn’t expect is for the other party of the fake engagement to be someone she used to know.

Rebekka shows up in Summit Springs to help her brother out, so it comes as a shock when she has to pretend to be engaged to her old college girlfriend, Marissa. They couldn’t be more opposite. Mari is by the book, high dollar, and kind of high maintenance. Bekka is a tarot reading earth goddess type who’s a little scatterbrained. Can the two of them learn that they’ve both matured and changed into people who can really care for each other, or will their relationship end when the fake honeymoon is over?

Honeymoon in the Cards is an FF (lesbian) romance featuring opposites attract and second chance romance between a Texas-born tarot card reader and a New York City ad executive, set in the fictional small town of Summit Springs, CO.

Baker Jax Martinez works odd hours making cupcakes and cookies in his New York apartment. It’s a skill he learned from his grandparents, who raised him in a bakery of their own, and he’s never wanted to do anything else. His strange schedule makes it hard to have friends and a social life, but he’s an introvert so the occasional Sunday dinner with his best friend January is enough for him.

Sawyer McMahon joined the army to leave behind everyone and everything he knew after losing the cowboy he loved in a horrific rodeo accident. After nearly losing his own life as a soldier overseas, he’s not sure what’s next for him. His old rodeo buddy Hawk Destry, who has had to deal with a disability of his own, offers Saw a place to stay for a while in New York and he takes it, hoping Hawk can help him get his recovery on track.

It’s an instant friendship when Jax finds an excuse to rescue Saw from an overwhelming moment, and they discover quickly that they want to be more. Their issues and quirks seem to fit together in a strange and complicated way, but neither of them has thought much beyond the present moment. Could they actually have a future together?
