The rugged widower has sworn off relationships. Celibacy might make him cranky, but it keeps everyone safe.Especially young West Owens, his new ranch hand.West is wholesome and untouched. Only twenty-eight to Michael’s hard-earned forty-six. A man, when Michael has only ever wanted women.When West begs for experience between the sheets, Michael can’t resist the temptation.
