Cal Hoke, an onsite pretty boy veterinarian at Riding Ranch in Stockton County, Oklahoma, has a secret he will never share with his ranch hand coworkers: he happens to be in love with the ranch owner, Pax Raulton. Straight and sexy Pax is a chiseled, handsome, aggressive businessman at Riding Ranch. For years he has raised and sold thoroughbred Palominos. Pax is a private man who minds his own business on the ranch. When he suffers a head injury caused by one of his prized horses, he spends days in recovery due to amnesia. Pax cannot remember a single detail from his past. Under Cal’s personal care and tender touch, Pax is provided with the help he needs to overcome his amnesia. As this healing process takes place, Cal learns Pax has a secret of his own, a secret that will change the two men forever. But something lurks in Pax’s history that he has forgotten, a dangerous and charmless someone with the potential to shred Pax’s world with ease. Is the bond between Pax and Cal strong enough to keep them together when the dark secret is exposed? Or will the two cowboys be forced to end their romantic ride together?

We lay spent after we cleaned up, me snug in Pax’s arms with his sweet breath against my face. Pax’s right hand moved to my left nipple to give it a smooth twist while kissing me, sliding his tongue into my mouth and along my teeth. The kiss lasted for more than a minute and twirled me like a tornado. As our mouth-to-mouth moment continued, I listened to the storm overhead, the raindrops plinking on the tin roof. He pulled away from me and asked, “Can I spend the night?” 


“Stay as long as you want, Pax. I want you here.”
