Cowboy Waltz

A horse stock manager on the rodeo tour, gruff cowboy Jed Hastings is in a bind. He needs a new assistant yesterday. Enter green-as-hell Booker West. The guy doesn't have any experience working with horses, but Jed doesn't have options, and gives the newbie a chance. Innocent about the world, Booker works like the devil to hide his fierce attraction to rough and handsome Jed. He doesn't just want to be a wannabe-cowboy with a crush, he wants to learn from Jed.
Booker craves Jed's respect, friendship, and trust. Living together in a cramped trailer, Booker basks in every word of kindness from Jed and cherishes their growing friendship. For Jed, he knows an eager young colt like Booker should work his last nerve, yet he finds he has endless patience with the guy. He's possessive about Booker too. And while bunking together does create intimacy, that doesn't explain away Jed's explicit sexual fantasies and growing desire for his roommate.
When a life altering event sends Jed and Booker reeling, a night of raw passion between the men finally explodes. But in the aftermath, can Booker help Jed see the depth of their love? Can Jed outrun his demons and accept the undying love and passion Booker so desperately wants to share? CONTENT NOTE: This book was written and originally published in 2013.
