Blurb:

Trace is nursing a broken heart. He lost his job, his boyfriend of two years was cheating on him, and his apartment building burned right to the ground with all his worldly possessions. It was time for Trace to get out of Minnesota.

So Trace heads for Texas and Riven Creek Ranch, the horse farm his aunt Lois owns. But hours before he arrives, Lois is in a terrible car accident that nearly takes her life, and Trace finds himself in charge of the ranch kitchen. Sounds simple enough and it’s the least he can do for his recuperating aunt.

Then Sawyer happens.

Sawyer is his aunt’s big, beautiful, muscle bound, incredibly sexy straight ranch manager. Someone who has no clue Trace is gay. And meeting the big man should have been okay, except it was in the middle of his aunt’s kitchen at five in the morning and Trace was nearly naked. Embarrassing? Yep. But the very next day Trace proceeded to ramp up his embarrassment by quantum leaps when he nearly sets his aunt’s house on fire and the brooding Sawyer has to come to the rescue.

Seems like Trace’s “luck” followed him.

Not to mention that Aunt Lois’s “accident” was actually attempted murder. And now, they just might want Trace dead, too.

Can Trace figure out who’s behind the attempts on his aunt’s life AND keep Sawyer from finding out he’s hot for the cowboy?

He probably can’t. But he’s going to try.

Tour Excerpt:

“Sawyer! Damn. You scared me.” Trace fell back against the freezer suddenly feeling light headed. He took in the big body blocking any escape he had and his cock twitched as if it liked the idea there was no way out. “I didn’t hear you… behind me.”

“I saw your car in the driveway. How’s Lois?”

Trace shook his head in an attempt to clear it. “She’s awake and very alert… but…” But someone wants her dead. Who? Someone on this ranch? Could it be Sawyer? I trust him with my life… That’s what she said.

“But what?”

Trace looked up into hard cold eyes. The question was genuine. He cared about the condition of his aunt. But what condition did he care her to be in? “Nothing… just… well… I guess you’re going to have to know… I mean…” Damn, he had to stop acting like a horny teenager in front of this man. “Let me… I’m going to make coffee…”

“It’s made. The big insulated urn on the counter is full. Just made it about a half hour ago so it’s fine.”

“Oh. Good. Let’s sit down. I need to sit down.” Trace took a few steps forward which brought him right in front of the cowboy. He expected Sawyer to move, to back up, but he didn’t. Then Trace did the unthinkable. His body reacted on its own as he put his hand on the big man’s chest and pushed. There would have been no way on God’s green earth he would have been able to physically move the cowboy without his express permission, not to mention help. But Trace’s brain seemed to totally malfunction in this man’s presence.

And, as expected, being pushed in any direction was never going to work for Sawyer. Sawyer grabbed his wrist, twisted it tight behind Trace, which brought Trace up solid, against Sawyer’s hard body, chest to chest. Being several inches taller, Sawyer glared down into Trace’s shocked face, a smoldering look in his eyes. Trace could feel Sawyer’s hot breath on his face, sense the man’s tense muscles from his pecs down through his thighs…

Exclusive Excerpt:

Suddenly a window gave way and a small tree branch was sticking inside the cabin. The wind had really kicked up but Trace hadn’t even heard it which was strange since he was scared to death of these bad storms.

Sawyer swore and raced to the window which was now letting large amounts of rain pour in. He started to push on the tree branch. Breaking away parts of it, but it wasn’t going to go anywhere. “Help me!”

Trace immediately got up and just as fast hit the floor as pain flashed through him. “Damn it!”

“Shit!” Sawyer was at his side, lifting him back to the couch. “Sorry. I forgot you were injured.” Sawyer raced to the back of the cabin and came out with a large knife. He proceeded to hack at the branch until he was finally able to shove the remains of it back out. He then closed the shutters. He quickly went around the cabin and closed the rest of the shutters. “There. That should keep things dry.”

Trace felt like a failure. “Sorry I…damn it.”

“Are you in a lot of pain?”

“No. I’m fine.”

“You’re not fine. You can’t even stand.” Suddenly Sawyer was on his knees in front of Trace reaching for his pants button. He undid the button and was working on lowering the zipper when Trace finally stopped him.

“What the hell are you trying to do again? Why are you always trying to take my pants off?”

“I’m trying to get a look at your wound. You said it was your knee? Is it broken?”

“No!” Trace re-buttoned his pants.

“You can’t know that unless we look at it. Take your pants off.”

Trace glared up at Sawyer’s face to try to gage what he just said. If it had been one of his friends he would laugh it off as some sick stupid joke. If it was someone he had met down at the club he at one time frequented he would think it was a come-on. But this was Sawyer Elliot. Big straight manly gorgeous cowboy Sawyer Elliot. “I am not taking my pants off.”

Meet the author:

Hurri Cosmo lives in Minnesota where she holds tight to the idea that there, where it’s cold a good part of the year, she won’t age as fast. Yep, she avoids the truth as much as she avoids mirrors. But one of the reasons she loves writing is reality doesn’t always offer up a “happily ever after” and being able to take control of that is a powerful lure. Being a happy ending junkie, writing just makes them easier to find. Oh, she doesn’t mind “real life” and she does try to at least keep it in mind when she writes her stories, but she truly loves creating a wonderful couple, knowing they will fall in love and have their HEA. Every – single – time. And, of course, that is exactly the reason she loves reading this genre, too. Give her a glass of red wine, some dark chocolate, and her computer, whether she is reading or writing, and she will entertain herself for hours. The fact she actually gets paid to do it is Snickers bars on the frosting on the cake.
