Book excerpt: When Tim meets Ryan it's “Yippee yi yo kayah!” at first sight...almost! Tim Barrett, working at the Seven Plus ranch, receives some terrible news and has to fly home to Reno to comfort his sister. When he returns, it's to find the owners have hired a new hand, ex-wrangler Ryan Horton. At first wary of Ryan's flirting, Tim can't deny that he's attracted to the man. Tim's been through an awkward relationship in the past, and he doesn't know very much about Ryan, apart from that the man's hot in bed. When he presses Ryan for information, it causes a rift in their fledgling romance. As if their own differences weren't enough, Tim has to deal with Brady, a guest who can't seem to understand the word &‘no'. It becomes Tim's mission in life to keep Ryan well away from Brady for fear of Ryan laying the pesky guest out. Can Tim navigate a path through the various obstacles that seem determined to get in his way before finding a safe haven in the arms of the man he's learning to love?
