Barry Logan’s day starts out shitty and continues to go down the crapper. His car breaks down in the Middle of Nowhere, Colorado. The only mechanic for miles is out of town, forcing Barry to hole up and await his return. Bored and hungry, Barry goes to the town’s only bar in search of food and entertainment. The former is almost inedible, but his interest in the latter is piqued when two specimens of cowboy perfection walk in. Barry has always had a thing for cowboys, and he’s been on a mission to get up close and personal with as many as possible before flying home to England. Having two cowboys at the same time would be a new experience, and one Barry is eager to try. So when the two men leave the bar, Barry follows in hot pursuit. He overhears them arguing about whose turn it is to bottom that night. Without thinking, Barry offers his services. Jimmy Pierce and Jake Wilson drive Barry back to the Double J ranch for a night of wild passion he won’t forget. The next morning, Barry wakes in an empty bed to a beeping smoke alarm. It seems the ranch cook quit the night before, leaving Jimmy, Jake, and their three ranch hands to fend for themselves. Barry immediately takes charge. His cooking meets with everyone’s approval, and he agrees to stay on both in the kitchen and in Jimmy’s and Jake’s bed. The two cowboys are physically demonstrative, both with each other as well as with Barry, who finds himself falling fast for both of them. It’s like a dream come true -- Barry has two men and a job he loves. But petty jealousies, rivalries, and miscommunications threaten to shatter the dream, and when Barry’s scheming ex shows up, things get even worse. Sandwiched between two cowboy lovers, has Barry bitten off more than he can chew?

Cowboy Sandwich

“Like the new truck, man,” Wayne called out as Barry parked next to Jimmy and Jake’s vehicle. 


“Thanks,” Barry said, already feeling more a part of the ranch.


“Thank God you didn’t get a blue or a red one,” Liam snickered.


Barry hadn’t thought of that. But, yes, he was lucky it was green.


Barry hopped out of his truck and reached in for the bag of last minute groceries he’d needed to put the finishing touches to Jimmy’s birthday dinner. Jimmy had wanted to go with him to the supermarket, but Barry had insisted he was fine going alone, and besides, it would spoil the surprise if Jimmy accompanied him.


Jimmy had reluctantly agreed and they’d parted ways after Jimmy had assured himself Barry had known his way back to the Double J.


Grocery bags in hand, Barry backed out of the truck and felt someone goose him.


“What the…” Spinning around he was surprised to see Rex, a doggy grin on his brown muzzle.


Liam laughed. “Bet you thought it was one of the J’s.”
