Truckee . . . you can call him Truck. A mixed-blood native man on the road to visit his spirit heritage in the Wheeler Peak range in Nevada. A man life has seemed to bludgeon, by the look of his craggy features and eff-off attitude. 

Life hasn’t handed Truck any breaks. The only man besides his father he has ever loved was killed in Iraq, now only a memory that eats at his gut. His wind spirit, born of his Paiute heritage, drives the wilderness images he pens and draws for a living. And then one day, hitching a ride on the Loneliest Road in America, he accepts a lift from a good looking, arrogant man named Dominic Majors. Call him Dom. A man who lives up to his name . . . Running from a lifestyle that is sucking his soul for no emotional gain, Dom thinks he can find a kind of salvation in his work for the Federal Wildlife Agency, helping to save the mountain bighorn.

At the end of a trail, literally as well as emotionally, he sees a hitchhiker with impossibly broad shoulders and black suit on a lonely road to nowhere. Curious, needing a companion for the long trail ahead, he stops for the giant man with an even bigger ’tude. And then begins the ride of their lives.

Sometimes, the night belongs to lovers. In his profession as a lawman, Cade Wilder has not dared to form a serious relationship. Wrongly fired from the U.S. Marshals Service and hoping to clear his name, he goes undercover, joining a big game hunt. Once known as “Spike” Long, partly for his sexual appetites, Steve Long finds that love has become a stranger to his life. He’s more comfortable on a lonely mountain than in the company of another man. When Cade meets Steve, their interaction results in an explosion of lust, and in heady feelings that quickly sink deeper than sexual satisfaction. But Cade must lead a mafia man to the safety of a protection program, making himself the desired trophy for a killer. How can Steve find him before he and Cade fill the sights of a sniper’s rifle? This time, the night belongs to the hunters.

Zachary Williams lives on the edge, making do and running from a secret that has scarred him for nearly a lifetime. For Zach, running means staying put, isolated on his small ranch in the middle of nowhere, Nevada. Joshua Caras has made mistakes, too many to count, and when he’s given a second chance he discovers that leaving is his only option. The law disagrees with that choice. Two men living on the edge, as different as night and day, are thrown together when a wild mustang runs afoul of barbed wire on Zach’s land. The only way to save the animal is to work together, to find trust where none exists. Friendship can take many shapes. For these men, loners, emotionally barren, the bond they form is odd and sometimes terrifying. Respect and trust never come easy, but when a man holding a grudge comes after Zach, trying to destroy everything he holds dear, Josh knows he will do whatever it takes to protect this special man. Sometimes the best fit comes when the edges are a little frayed.
