Two hours outside of Boise, Idaho, is a sign that reads, “Welcome to Stallions and Studs.” In the four stories corralled together in this collection, read about the cowboys who work the ranch and the men who come there to live out their cowboy fantasies. Riding, herding cattle, rodeoing along with moonlit trail rides, snuggling by a camp fire, and rolling around in the hay are just some of the activities available to the guests seeking to lasso themselves some cowboy fun. And for a few, if they’re lucky, a whole lot more. Contains the stories: Shoulda Been a Cowboy: Charlie Bradley, enthralled with cowboys, chooses a dude ranch for his summer vacation. There he meets Wade Connors who, in addition to being his riding instructor, romances Charlie as his playmate of the week. What happens when Charlie’s week ends and he has to return home? Back in the Saddle Again: Mack MacIntyre has left his life as a cowboy behind. For 35 years he’s been a devoted husband, father, and businessman far from his roots in the west. One day that old life, in the form of Seth Buchanan, comes knocking on his door. Seth has a dream. Does Mack have the courage to share in it? Rodeo Cowboy: Lex Cunningham and Trent Boxwood ride rodeo together. Lex hopes Trent’s friendship can be turned to something more, but when he acts on signs that Trent is interested, Trent rebuffs him. Why? Will Trent overcome what stands between them? Reining In Rio: The single life is just fine for Rio Cody. His motto is monogamy is monotony. However, at a local horse show he meets someone who may turn that notion inside out. But Mark Wembly is not at all Rio’s type and is a pain in the butt to boot. Will Rio continue to ride alone, or will Mark rein him in?

Stallions and Studs Box Set

&ldquo;Well, then what if we were away from the rodeo circuit? How would ya feel about it then? Would ya still be scared?&rdquo; 


Trent shrugged. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know. But it&rsquo;s all I know. What would I do if I didn&rsquo;t rodeo?&rdquo;


A kernel of an idea was forming in Lex&rsquo;s mind. He&rsquo;d thought of Rio, of the dude ranch the man worked for. Could something be worked out for me and Trent?


Lex didn&rsquo;t want to say too much as Rio hadn&rsquo;t even suggested he was interested in Lex coming to Stallions and Studs, let alone another guy who was also new to man-on-man sex and carrying a ton of emotional baggage.


Trent sighed, looked at his watch, and said, &ldquo;We better be gettin&rsquo; back.&rdquo;
