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?
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?
