Five years ago, Tyler ended his relationship with Sebastian and broke his lover’s heart. At the time he didn’t feel he had a choice. His aunt had laid down an ultimatum—end his involvement with Sebastian or she would cut him and his niece out of her will. Tyler didn’t care about himself, but he couldn’t see his thirteen year old niece penniless and without a home.

He left small town Texas to go to school in California. But now he’s back, and the ranch is his. Can he convince Sebastian that he made the wrong choices in the past, and that he’ll always be by his side from here on? Or will Sebastian’s new boyfriend, a crooked casino owner come between them forever?

Excerpt

Tyler leaned against the rail on his front porch and watched the man who hadn’t left his dreams in five years. Sebastian hadn’t changed. His thick blond hair still curled about his head, and his physique was that of a pro ballplayer—hard and chiseled. Many nights Tyler had lain in those big arms and felt all was right in the world.

As Sebastian drew closer, Tyler revised his thought that the man hadn’t changed. He was wrong. The blue eyes that had been his reason for rising each morning had gone from bright and expectant to dull and leery. Surely, they didn’t appear that way because of him? He’d hoped Sebastian would get over him and move on with his life, but maybe that wasn’t the case.

His former lover drew up in front of him and removed his hat. He swiped a hand over his sweaty forehead before shoving it back on. Dust covered his jeans and worn boots, the signs of a man who worked his land with his own hands.

“Hey, Sebastian,” Tyler said, glad no emotion seeped out into his tone. “Long time no see.”

Sebastian frowned. This close Tyler realized his gaze didn’t quite meet Tyler’s. “Your cow got loose in my fields again. Trampled what she didn’t eat. I don’t like having to keep coming by, but I have a living to make. If you could see to fixing your fence so she can’t break through, I’d much appreciate it.”

For a few moments, Tyler could find nothing to say. He was just back home, and this was the first time they’d seen each other in so long. No doubt Sebastian had been dealing with his manager about the cow, but he couldn’t believe Sebastian was being so formal, so impersonal. They had history, but this. His heart constricted, and he began to think he’d hurt him deeper than he could ever have imagined. Getting Sebastian to forgive him would be difficult.

Forgiveness, he repeated to himself. He hadn’t considered it until just that moment when he saw the look in his former lover’s eyes, an emotion Sebastian tried to hide. “I’ve missed you,” he said rather than address the cow situation. “I thought of you every day I was away. And I wanted to say I’m sorry for breaking things off between us. You know my aunt—”

“That’s old news that I don’t care to discuss,” Sebastian interrupted. “I want to know when you’ll get the cow and when you’ll fix the fence.”

Tyler came down the steps off the porch and walked up to his old boyfriend. Sebastian must be twenty-six to his twenty-three, but he’d grown a good three or four inches. They’d been the same height at just over six feet. Now he had to tilt his head back a little. He liked it. “Can’t we talk?”

Sebastian seemed to battle between stepping back to put distance between them and holding his ground. Staying where he was won out. “I have nothing to say.”

“I know I hurt you.” Tyler put a hand up to touch his face, but Sebastian ducked away from it. A moan escaped Tyler’s lips. “Baby…”

“Don’t!” Sebastian turned and stomped down the drive. “Get your cow before I shoot it!” He walked down the lane leading back to the road, and Tyler watched him with an ache in his chest until he was out of sight.

He’d been wrong five years ago. At the time, he felt he had no choice, and he’d hoped Sebastian would understand. His lover hadn’t been the only one to be hurt in the deal. Tyler hurt too. He’d been devastated. Worse, he’d had to leave his home and fly across the country to a place where no one appreciated his slow Southern drawl. They’d called him country bumpkin and pranked him. The girls who’d found him attractive had blurted it to the cruel guys when they learned he was gay. That had made a bad situation intolerable, and it wasn’t the type of thing he could tell his aunt to motivate her to let him come home. After all, that’s why she’d blackmailed him in the first place—to get him away from his gay lover.
