Venom and Vice (an MxM romance)

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Sometimes life throws you a curveball and hits you where it hurts. For professional cowboy Shayne Wilson, he’s used to taking the knocks, but when his dad puts his mother’s horses up for sale without telling him, it stings. In a moment of desperation, he strikes a deal with a stranger, Austin Reinhard—who, unbeknownst to Shayne, has been watching his rodeo runs for years. But things are never as simple as Shayne hopes. Old wounds and buried trauma resurface when he realizes, with startling clarity, that his body responds to Austin’s care and closeness in a way it never has with women. Now, Shayne must decide: can he face the ghosts of his past to embrace love, or will thirty years of fear and conditioning push him to turn away from the only person he’s ever truly desired?
