Dear Author, I love cowboys. Hot days and sultry, sexy nights. So, who's this guy got in his barn? Photo Description: In the dark doorway of a barn stands a burly, muscular man, wearing only a white stetson and buckskin pants. His hands pull the pants open and low on his hips, exposing his hairy torso down to the curls at his groin. A straw juts from his mouth, and his eyes are intent under the brim of his hat. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Hot Summer Days" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. Read the story here or find it in Don't Read in the Closet, Volume 4. __________ Genre: contemporary Tags: gay m/m, cowboys, friends-to-lovers, reunited, first-love, HFN Warnings: implied homophobia (as a regional issue) Word Count: 10,167
