Description
Two men with trust issues find a second chance at love in this slow burn western romance.
Welcome to Clean Slate Ranch: Home of tight jeans, cowboy boots and rough trails. For some men, it's a fantasy come true.
Shawn Matthews never imagined he'd be living out of his car, trying to make ends meet, but life doesn't always go your way-he knows that better than most. When an accident leaves the Clean Slate Ranch shorthanded, Shawn is enlisted to help cook and finds himself bunked next to the sexiest cowboy he's ever laid eyes on.
The first time Robin Butler spots the new chef, he thinks he's seeing an actual ghost. Shawn is the spitting image of his late husband, and it spooks the hell out of him. The former rodeo-star-turned-ranch-hand does his best to avoid the soft-spoken cook-except it's kind of tough when the man makes the best damn grub this side of the Mississippi and has a boy-next-door charm that's impossible to resist.
Even though the tension between them practically sizzles, Shawn doesn't do hookups and Robin isn't ready for a new relationship. Besides, Robin can tell Shawn's been hurt and deserves a partner who isn't saddled with a tragic past. But chemistry doesn't lie. Maybe finding each other-and a second chance at love-is the lucky break they both need.
"[A] passionate, trope-heavy romance... scintillating romantic tension and steamy sex scenes." - Publishers Weekly on Hard Ride

Person
A. M. Arthur has been creating stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. She credits an early fascination with male friendships and "bromance" with her later discovery of, and subsequent affair with, m/m romance stories. She is the author of numerous novels, including Cost of Repairs, Come What May, No Such Thing, the Perspectives series, and the Restoration series.This spicier side of narrator Greg Tremblay brings a passion for strong plots and simmering love scenes. Honoring Greg's ancestors who split from the Tremblay clan to seek the heat of the Bayou, Greg Boudreaux seeks to deliver characters to make you swoon and love scenes to make you blush.
