Alejandro ‘Hoss’ Cartwright’s dreams of working for an elite professional rodeo—but his trip up the career ladder is cut short when he’s accused of mishandling the prize money. His one-step-in-front-of-the-lawman exit runs out of rope in west-of-nowhere, Arizona, and a next of kin call is made to a brother who didn’t know of Hoss’s existence. Without resources and trust in others at an all-time low, Hoss must find a way to clear his name before he can start over—from scratch. The last thing he needs is man trouble—especially a man with relationship problems. Characterizing his near escape from a psycho-stalker ex-boyfriend as an opportunity for a fresh start, Joseph Shelborne heads to the Willow Springs Ranch to take on a renovation job that can best be described as CPR. Working and living off the grid should keep him out of sight long enough for his past to fade and his heart to heal. The last thing Joe wants is more man trouble—especially a man with legal problems. What a man wants and what a man gets are two different breeds, especially once revenge and retaliation rear their ugly heads. With bullets flying and fires burning, is either man ready to risk falling in love?
