THE CROW CREEK SERIES
Crow Creek Ranch nestles in the foothills of the Absaroka Range in Wyoming, bordering a wilderness that challenges brave men, testing their mettle … and their hearts.
Genre: Contemporary gay romance, western-themed, erotic romance
“Hot, sexy, tender.”

ASH & OAK brings together two men separated by a continent, united by a mutual love for horses. Oak Richards is shy & reclusive, Ash MacBryde is domineering & territorial. When they meet sparks fly, igniting a firestorm of passion. But that passion requires gentling before two men, so alike, yet so different, can learn when to submit and when to take control.

PULLING LEATHER returns to Crow Creek Ranch where Jess Carpenter, an ex-rodeo champion who’s given up on love meets Lucas Santiago, a young wrangler with some anger management issues. The attraction is intense and mutual. But there’s a complication. Jess has a history with Ash MacBryde. Their reunion ignites a firestorm of passion that threatens Jess’ feelings for Luc and Ash’s bond with his married partner, Oak. 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.

STRAPPING ASH brings the Ash MacBryde-Oak Richards saga to a stunning climax. 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.

Will Halliday is determined to stake his claim on furthering his career and developing a specialized veterinary practice out west. With help from Ben Kincaid, a friend with benefits, he sees the move as going to a better life, not running from narrow-minded colleagues and past disappointments. The problem with that new life is that it’s looking more like self-imposed exile than liberation. Sam Turner is settled in his profession, fast-tracked for the ultimate advancement. To get there he has to bury his secrets so deeply that only Ash MacBryde knows the truth. Living a lie is never easy, but the rewards, for a time, seem worth it, until Sam meets Will in the rodeo arena and everything changes. Drawn together, Will, Sam and Ben tangle with their explosive emotions and the ties that bind them to secrets, lies and promises made in the heat of the night.

Daniel Blake and Tristan Wells have been in a committed, but secret, relationship for nearly two years. A relationship that will be tested when Danny comes under scrutiny from rodeo management for alleged misconduct. He’s being set up and Tristan calls on Ben Kincaid from Crow Creek Ranch for help in ferreting out who has it in for them.

Ben Kincaid’s been told he’s lucky, everybody wants to be his friend. He’s not so sure about that kind of luck because it comes with a price. When you’re juggling feelings for the one who got away, it’s not easy to make lemonade from the lemons life keeps throwing at you. Ben doesn’t want everyone, he just wants one. The One. Matt returns home to Crow Creek to settle a score with his dad and lay to rest demons that have haunted him for years. He’s made some spectacular mistakes that cost him dearly: his career in the military and the trust of his brothers-in-arms. He’s willing to spend a lifetime to atone but his past dogs him at every turn. Ben and Matt’s paths cross when they discover Matt’s father has gone missing from a cattle drive in the high country of the Absaroka Range. What starts as a simple search and rescue turns into a race against time when rustlers and the forces of nature conspire against them. Both men discover that the wilderness will test their mettle and their bravery, but the ultimate proving ground lies in overcoming the challenges to their minds and hearts.

It’s been called hot, sexy and tender. Ash MacBryde is domineering and possessive, and carrying an emotional burden he’s buried deep. Oak Richards is shy and reclusive, comfortable around the horses he loves, but tongue-tied when it comes to people. Two men, so different and yet alike, come together and find the missing pieces in each other. But love’s never easy, not when one of them carries secrets. The chance arrival of an old friend and former lover re-ignites memories Ash has been trying to hide, threatening everything he holds dear. When he loses control and does the unthinkable, Oak runs, back to his home and back to an employer who had once cast him away like so much trash. Oak has his own demons waiting for him, in the guise of the man who’d opened the closet door for him, a man determined to pick up where they left off so many years before. When Ash shows up to bring his man home, he discovers a side to Oak he never knew. 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.
