Stace, Spark, and Cass have been best buddies since their high school rodeo days. Now they work for a very special guest ranch that caters to gay men who need a break to escape from their high stress fast lane lives. Rainbow Ranch has a reputation for providing precisely the Wild West adventures each guest needs and desires with the cowboys of their hottest dreams. Stace doesn't intend to fall for a guest -- it's never happened before. Why now? What is so unique about this one?<br><br>Jared Longford runs a cutting edge edutainment media company and wishes he could put aside the burdens of management and be valued for himself and not his prestige. He has grown to fear that's an empty dream. Persuaded to take a week long vacation on a guest ranch in New Mexico, he finds exactly the reprieve he needs and all the thrills he could hope for. Surrendering to Stace might be one way Jared can fulfill his most secret fantasy.

The Wild Bunch: Stace

Jared reached across and ran a hand down Stace’s arm, then across his chest, lingering over the budding dark brown nipples and tracing the shape of each well-defined muscle. “Damn, you’re almost too pretty to be real, but I could look at you till doomsday.”


“I’m real,” Stace muttered, his voice low and carrying a hint of hoarseness. “All the way through and inside out. You are, too—that’s what I like about you.”


Jared held his smile at the other man’s gentle admission. “Hey, I like you, too. I don’t guess there’s any way I can coax you to come out to California with me, is there? I don’t have a need for a cowboy, but I’d bet I could find something for you to do.”


Stace’s expression went sober. “I don’t doubt you could, Mr. Langford, but that’s not my place and not the way I want to live.”
