You know what they say about the dating pool in a small town– Ankle Deep
A town with only two gay men didn’t even qualify as that. Salvation, New Mexico, may have been a great place to start his own salon, but Kevin Tarrant needed a man capable of speaking in full sentences. Bo Hopkins was stunningly handsome, but try getting more than four words out of him, and well, Kevin just didn’t have that kind of time in his life.
Bo took one look at Kevin and knew all the pieces of his life had fallen into place. This was the guy he could spend the rest of his life with. But one misunderstanding, one huge leap to a wrong conclusion, and three years later, he was still trying to recover. One night to clear the bad vibes between them, and they could at least be friends, yeah, friends, that was what he wanted.
So friends help with renovations, they have dinner together, helping a kid in jeopardy? A stretch, but sure. But when Kevin’s business is targeted, he’ll step up and protect his newfound family.
This is a contemporary cowboy romance between two men for whom family and friends mean everything. It is part of my Lovers and Other Strangers series, but can be read as a standalone. The other books in the series feature M/F relationships, but family plays a huge part in those, too.
