I’m halfway through re-editing and reformating the Crow Creek Series for ebook and print and… dayyum… I’m falling in love all over again with this epic tale of two men running from their pasts toward an uncertain future.
Tagline: It’s as big as the wilderness, as intimate as a heartbeat.
Bey Deckard did a fabulous job redesigning the book covers.
Book #2 PULLING LEATHER:
AMAZON (Available until 3/15/17 in Kindle Unlimited)
Former rodeo champion Jess Carpenter’s been rode hard and put up lonely. Lucas Santiago has anger management issues and a passion for the livestock in his care. When they meet, the fanboy crush on the older bronc rider turns into a fierce attraction, for both men.
But Jess’ visit to Crow Creek Ranch brings a complication—a history with owner Ash MacBryde that ignites an emotional firestorm. It threatens not only Jess’ budding feelings for the young wrangler Luc, but it also drives a wedge between Ash and his married partner Oak.
While Ash and Jess struggle to understand and control their still smoldering feelings for each other, the two young men who would love them unite in desperation, making the kinds of bad choices that lead to jealous rage and soul-searing hurt.
To save Oak, Luc will do whatever it takes, including jail time. To save themselves, Jess and Ash must finally confront what they’ve hidden for years.
Four men vie to hold onto the things they hold dear. Riding for the time. Riding for the glory. And it takes only one misstep to disqualify any one of them from the competition … and from love.
Book #3 STRAPPING ASH
AMAZON (Available until 3/15/17 in Kindle Unlimited)
“I think you love that boy so much you’re insane with it — and you don’t have a clue how to show him.”
The reappearance of an old love drives more than a wedge between Ash MacBryde and his partner and husband, Oak Richards. It sends Oak flying back to Vermont and into the employ of a man determined to win a chance to race at the World Endurance Cup in Dubai.
To Oak’s delight and dismay, the man who taught him what it means to be different is there, working for the same man with the same end. They will be partners on horseback and, if Ben Kincaid has any say in it, in other ways as well.
Someone holds a grudge against Oak’s new employer and as the race approaches, the dirty tricks escalate until no one is safe.
Oak and Ben are in danger, and when Ash shows up to bring his man back home, there’s more at stake than just a shot at a million dollar purse. MacBryde’s got his work cut out for him because keeping Oak safe might mean shattering all chances at mending their broken marriage.
Three men set out on a perilous journey through traps set not just by their enemies but by their own tangled emotions. And the only way the domineering possessive man and the gentle reclusive soul can find their way back to Crow Creek Ranch means learning that…
Sometimes it takes two wrongs to make it right.
I’ve bundled the first three in the series into a BOX SET. Love’s never gonna be easy for Oak Richards and Ash MacBryde, and as Ash’s ex-lover says…
“This won’t come as a big shock, but you and me, kiddo… we’re hard men to love.”
The CROW CREEK BOX SET:
ASH & OAK, PULLING LEATHER, STRAPPING ASH
“But he’s still out there ridin’ fences
Still makes his livin’ with his rope
As long as there’s a sunset he’ll keep ridin’ for the brand
You just can’t see him from the road
Well he’s tall in the saddle short on the cash
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
Well he’s a knight in leather armor still livin’ by the code
That’s made him what he’s been a hundred years”
