Opposites attract in this slow-burn gay romance when a former athlete on holiday at a dude ranch falls for a sexy cowboy.
Levi Peletier is settled—for now. With his life on the rodeo circuit reined in, he's content doing trick riding demos for tourists at Clean Slate Ranch and spending his off-hours with three finicky felines. It's a life he's grateful for, one that keeps his heart safe.
George Thompson couldn't be less like the ruggedly sexy Levi. A onetime figure skating star, he's hung up his skates to live in introverted anonymity in San Francisco. An effort to shake up his regular routine finds him at Thanksgiving dinner, dude ranch style, and he immediately falls in love with the gorgeous view—the wide-open spaces and big blue sky aren't bad, either.
The country cowboy and the stay-put city boy strike up an unlikely friendship that blossoms into something more. But getting attached is a bad idea. Because the open road is calling to Levi, and it's a call George can't imagine answering. When the past catches up to them, this odd couple will have to decide if a future together is worth fighting for.
