The Cowboy’s Rockstar By Giovanna Reaves
Black Meadow Ranch, Book Two
River lives in a world that most dream of. He’s the lead singer of the Kingdom of Extasy, his career is strong, and his fanbase is even stronger. However, looks can be misleading. He is trapped in a loveless, chaotic, and toxic relationship, unable to escape the cage he’s been locked in. With help from an unexpected friend, he ends up on the Black Meadow Ranch, finding his outlook on the world around him changing. Even his view of love.
Winston’s life is filled with laughter, good friends, and work. But he’s longed for a family of his own. When he’s asked to help a friend in need, he shifts his focus from work to helping them heal. After meeting River, he struggles each day between his head and his heart, not certain which one he should follow. Winston knows he has to choose if he should put his heart on the line again and risk the possibility of finding the one that just may complete him.
Both men are each searching for the balance that love can bring. Their dreams align, but can they both overcome their fears and be each other’s forever one?
This story is the second book in The Black Meadow series. It is an Omegaverse and Non-shifter Mpreg Romance. Disclaimer: This book mentions drug and physical abuse, but contains lots of fluff and love.

A little over six years ago, River sold his soul to the devil, only realizing his mistake too late. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he winced, feeling the sting from scrubbing his face too hard.
“Don’t fucking cry,” he scolded himself. “Dry your fucking face and do what you’ve always done: push through the pain.” Closing his eyes, he took a shaky breath as he opened them once more. “You can do this, River. Just a couple more years and you can leave him and put this all behind you.”
But will I be able to hold on until then?
He observed his appearance once more, ignoring the puffy eyes and sunken cheeks, he somewhat recognized the old him. He felt raw and open, and completely alone. He finally had the money and fame he wanted, but not the love he craved. Otávio made sure he would never know what genuine love felt like. River touched the large bruise on his cheek, regretting that he could see it again.
Maybe I should call Sienna to come and cover it back up.
Sienna JiNa, his makeup artist and friend, begrudgingly did an excellent job covering up the bruises. She had begged River countless times to leave Otávio, but she had somehow forgotten the number of times he’d left only to be dragged back by Otávio. Besides that, River had nowhere to run. River realized too late there wasn’t anything he could do about his situation. Otávio had control over every aspect of his career and, subsequently, his life.
It was part of the deal they’d made when they started out together, River would make the money and Otávio would take care of everything else. River trusted Otávio completely in the beginning of their relationship. The man had been the one to let River see the potential that was hidden inside of him as a singer and songwriter.
It started a little over six years ago when a charming and handsome man told him he had the voice of an angel and the body of a model. River knew he had an androgynous appearance, but he never paid much attention to the way he looked. He had other concerns in his life, like food and keeping a roof over his head.
River cursed his parents many times over the years for the way he grew up. They didn’t care about him and found more joy in a bottle of gin, and whatever drug could give them a high. For a while, River hated them with a passion and thought they were weak, constantly succumbing to their addictions. But after years of being with Otávio, he realized he was just as vulnerable.
Maybe their habit is my fault. They were young and still in high school when they had me. And couldn’t handle the pressure of being parents.
Having to become the breadwinner, River put the thoughts of going to college out of his mind even though he graduated a year early and was fifth in his graduating class. River remembered that he loved studying history and languages and taught himself Portuguese and Latin, all the while holding down three part-time jobs.
He didn’t deny that he was jealous when he’d heard of the colleges his classmates were going to and what they wanted to do with their lives when he was stuck at home taking care of his parents. For a while things were bad, but after meeting Otávio, who was a few years older than him, River’s life got better. Sadly, he latched on to Otávio, seeing him as his savior and hero, rescuing him from a life of tragedy.
