Colby
2023
Colby
I never meant to fall in love with my stepbrother, but Dante cared for me in ways no one ever had before.
Then, he vanished without a trace.
For five years I’ve wondered how he could walk away so easily, leaving our hopes and dreams behind. I never thought I’d see Dante again, then my world is turned upside down when he reappears. I want to push him away, but I can’t. Not when he tells me the truth behind his disappearance.
Now, I’ll do whatever it takes to help him right these wrongs... even if it costs me everything.
Dante
I did what I had to in order to protect my family.
Never would I allow Colby to suffer if there was any way I could prevent it. He deserved the very best in life, even if that meant I had to leave to make that happen. But the five years of silence was too much. I need to see him and explain that I never stopped loving him, even if he already moved on.
Yet when I find out the person I was protecting him from broke all their promises, I’m prepared to fight for the life I left behind.
No way in hell am I walking away a second time.
Welcome to the Broken Horn Ranch Series, where a colorful crew of hardworking ranch hands work to claim their own happily-ever-afters!

Blaze
2023
Blaze
Whoever says money can solve all your problems is a damn liar. It only creates unnecessary headaches and does nothing to erase bitter memories.
Deep down, I’m still the same guy I’ve always been. No matter how many zeros are in my bank account. No matter how far I run, or how much richer I become. Where I came from will never change.
I’m tired of pretending. It’s why I’ve come back to my hometown. To the simple life, to clearing my mind and finding the balance that’s always just out of reach.
No suits, no city living, no cheats and liars, and definitely no complications.
But the funny thing is, there’s a situation I wasn’t prepared for. The ranch hand on my best friend’s farm with a shy smile and talented hands. River is easygoing, confident and carefree, my total opposite.
Maybe an unexpected complication is exactly what I need to make things easy again.
Maybe finding my way back to who I truly am is easier if I’m not alone.
River
I don't need much to be happy.
I have my job at Broken Horn Ranch, my custom furniture building on the side, and a standing date to dinner with my dad every Friday night.
Life doesn’t need excitement or fancy adventures to be fulfilling. Things are completely good just the way they are. There’s no sense toppling my perfectly balanced apple cart.
But I wasn’t expecting the tall, dark, and handsome man who arrived at the ranch on horseback and sent my comfortable, ordinary world spinning.
Blaze is the boss’s best friend and a part owner of the ranch. His brilliant smile masks his hidden troubles, and if I had a few pennies to spare for his thoughts, I’d spend every last one.
Maybe I don’t have everything I need after all.
Maybe I need him .
Blaze is the second book in The Broken Ranch series and can be read as a standalone. Expect to find two men in their forties remembering what it’s like to be kids again while falling in love, a new hobby making spoons, an abundance of romantic gestures and a super swoony sleigh ride.

Alec
2023
Alec
As an ex-cowboy who travelled the rodeo circuit, I was good at two things: roping and, after a bit of heartbreak, denying that I was looking for a man to warm my bed permanently.
I left that scene and settled in working at the Broken Horn Ranch. I was still good at denying the loneliness that kept creeping in, but the animals on the ranch and my plants kept me company.
And so did my best friend of three years, Zane.
Since I was so good at denying things, there was no way in God’s green acre I was going to tell my straight best friend that I’d fallen for him.
Yep, I’d just live my life out with the violets on my windowsill and carry that torch to my grave.
But sometimes things don’t go as planned.
Zane
When you’re close to forty, you should have your life figured out; job, home… and your sexuality.
I’ve never been one to follow the path of what’s expected and it’s hard to settle down when you don’t feel the connection needed for warming up the cold winter nights. Except with Alec.
After months of dealing with a tiny mid-life crisis, grappling with these newfound and unexpected feelings, I know I’m in love with my best friend.
When a piece of his rodeo past shows up at the ranch, it’s the motivation I need to openly claim the man who’s lassoed my heart.
I might not know exactly what I’m doing on this unfamiliar path…
But for Alec, I want to walk it—together.
Alec is the third and final book in The Broken Horn Ranch Series. Prepare for a trouble making raccoon, a peacock that can't be contained, big belt buckles at a cowboy auction and SO MANY CAMEOS. Demisexuality and high intimacy with the most patient man you'll ever meet can be found here. While it's made to stand alone, you may enjoy more if you read the prior books first. Oh, and a lacy epilogue that just might make you blush.

Heath
2024
Can tattoos induce a sexual awakening?
Heath
I met this guy, Marko. He has the best tattoos.
We hang out all the time and he even loves the farm animals as much as I do. He’s Croatian and he kisses me on the cheek sometimes, too. That’s such a kind gesture and I really like it when he does that.
He speaks another language and even likes to paint on paper, not just the skin of his tattoo clients.
I can’t imagine not having our weekly coffee meetings. Or missing the rides on his motorbike.
The guys on the ranch tell me we’re dating, but I’d know if we were.
Wouldn’t I?
Marko
Heath is the quintessential boy next door. He’s all sunshine energy and a smile that makes my heart stop.
And I’m the tattooed son of a criminal. I keep to myself and prefer the company of my motorcycle and the open road over people.
But Heath isn’t like most people. He has a pet peacock for one thing, and he’s beyond thoughtful.
He makes me wish for more.
Now that we’ve grown close, I want to take our relationship further, but there’s a problem. He doesn’t know we’ve been dating and I’m already half in love with him.
This story contains an insatiable Heath once he gets a taste, a peacock who interrupts, and all the men of the Broken Horn Ranch quietly waiting for Heath to figure out he’s never really been straight. Swoony dates and gestures galore, and a heartfelt trip to Croatia. Low angst, adorable discoveries and the babble that can only come from Heath and his golden retriever energy.
