The new year is finally upon us can you share with us what you hope 2021 brings you.
It isn’t so much what 2021 brings me as it is to what it brings to the world. I sincerely hope for an end to the coronavirus pandemic so that all of us can return to a more normal kind of life. I have no illusions that everything is going to just pop back into place, but I hope that we can move forward instead of just… waiting.
I also hope that 2021 brings hope and a brighter future for all of us. Things are changing already and I know they will continue throughout the year.
Mostly I want each and every one of us to have a better year than we had in 2020, that the road ahead of us smooths out a little, and that we are all able to take a deep breath and to just try to forge a way ahead.

Ever since his discharge from the military, injured veteran Ashton Covert has been running his family ranch—and running himself into the
ground to prove he still can.
Ben Malton knows about running too. When he takes refuge in Ashton’s barn after an accident in a Wyoming blizzard, he’s thinking only of survival and escaping his abusive criminal ex, Dallas.
Ashton has never met a responsibility he wouldn’t try to shoulder. When he finds Ben half-frozen, he takes it upon himself to help. But deadly trouble follows Ben wherever he goes. He needs to continue on, except it may already be too late.
Working together brings Ben and Ashton close, kindling fires not even the Wyoming winter can douse. Something about Ben makes Ashton feel whole again. But before they can ride into the sunset together, they need to put an end to Dallas’s threats. Ben can make a stand, with Ashton’s help—only it turns out the real danger could be much closer to home.

Ben eventually fell asleep, and Ashton set his book aside, quietly got up, and left the room. The dogs watched him, but he motioned for them to stay where they were. Most of them settled down, but Whiskey, a miniature boxer mix, jumped onto the sofa and settled near Ben’s feet. Ben didn’t wake, and Ashton returned to the kitchen to figure out what he was going to do for lunch.
The back door opened and closed, and a moment later, after taking off their winter gear in the mud room, Lucifer—Lucy—and Marcel came in.
“Everything okay?” Ashton asked, putting on the coffee.
“Yeah. We have the cattle sheltered, with plenty of feed. They should be okay. The horses are all bedded down and the doors closed. We ensured they all have clear water, but we’re going to have to go back out in a few hours. I’m afraid the water for the cattle will freeze over even with the circulators. It’s just so cold.” Lucy sat down, and Marcel got the coffee and brought it to the table.
“How is your unexpected visitor?” Marcel asked quietly.
“He’s asleep,” Ashton said and leaned over the table. “He told me his name is Ben Malvoin, but I think that’s an alias. He’s running from something. When you get back to your quarters, could you call a few of your contacts and see if they can find out anything about him? This guy is scared shitless about something, and I want to know what he’s bringing to my ranch.” Of course, nothing was going to be moving until this storm was over, and then the entire area was going to need to dig itself out.
“I’ll see what I can come up with. I got a good look at him, so I can start with a description. Do you think Ben is his first name?”
Ashton nodded. “It came to him too easily. It’s the last name that’s most likely fictional.” He took the mug Lucy offered and sat back down. “I’m going to start lunch soon.”
Lucy grinned. “We were sort of hoping you would offer.”
“He’s sick of my cooking,” Marcel said.
Lucy smacked his arm. “I am not and you know it.” Lucy’s grin softened, and he placed his hand on top of Marcel’s. Cooking was a passion that Ashton and Marcel shared. “It’s just that you’ve been up since before six. A break is nice.”
