Calvin Hamilton reluctantly returns to his home town of Parrish Creek, Texas, to sell his parents' house. Finding the place in need of repair he hires John "Brock" Brockwell to renovate the house before putting it on the market. Brock bares a passing resemblance to Gary Cooper, especially as he often wears western clothing. Calvin has always had a weakness for cowboys.<br><br>Time has reversed the two men's fortunes. In high school Brock was the big man on campus, his popularity allowing him to hide his true nature. Calvin was a nerd, bullied by most of the jocks for being perceived as gay. Now Calvin is a successful New York advertising executive, and Brock is a divorced father with a teenage son who faces financial ruin, unable to pay his late father's hospital bills.<br><br>Can Calvin put past bitterness behind him and help the cowboy with whom he is rapidly falling in love? Will the deeply closeted Brock be able to admit he has feelings for Calvin? Or will pride, fear, distance, and the past prevent them from building a future together?

Calvin's Cowboy

“Isn’t there anything else but George Straight?”


“You don’t like King George?”Brock smirked.


Calvin wished he hadn’t let Brock bring the CDs along,but when he’d asked just before they were leaving,Calvin hadn’t been able to say no.He was rapidly discovering he was rarely able to say no to Brock.The music made his cowboy happy,so Calvin knew he’d deal.Wouldn’t stop him from bitching,though.


“How come you drove all the way from New York?Hell of a long way.”


“True,”Calvin conceded.“I rarely get to drive in Manhattan,it’s just not practical.It’s usually bumper-to-bumper and there’s hardly anywhere to park.”


“I’d hate to live in a place like that.”
