Dust and Desire (Sagebrush Cowboys, #5)

He came for the quiet. He stayed for the trouble.

Dustin I came to Sagebrush to bury my past. A messy divorce. A lifetime in the closet. A corporate life that suffocated me. I wanted silence. I wanted to fade into the background. Then Alex crashed into my world. He’s younger, reckless, and wears his cowboy hat like a crown. He calls me "city boy" with a wink that sets my blood on fire. Then I caught him skinny-dipping in the creek and couldn't look away. Now I'm not just hiding anymore. I'm hunting. And he's the only thing I want to catch.

Alex I don’t do "forever." I do "for tonight." I drift from ranch to ranch, keeping my heart locked up and my boots moving. But Sagebrush is different. Dustin is different. He’s older, steady, and dangerously quiet. He looks at me with a hunger that shakes me to my core. I should run. That’s what I do. But for the first time in my life, I’m wondering what it would feel like to stay. Even if it breaks us both.

Welcome to Sagebrush, Texas. Where the days are slow, the water is cool, and the age gap is just a number.
