Dominic “Bull” Walker is used to the simpler things in life. Give him his own land to work, a strong horse, and twelve hours of daylight, and he is a contented man. But when someone threatens to take away the successful ranch that took him two years to rebuild, he’ll accept any help he can get to defend it.
Mandel “Fox” Tucker is a sixth-generation SWAT soldier. It’s embedded in his bones to protect and serve his community. So when he gets word of the vandalism occurring on the Walker Ranch, he quickly volunteers the free time he has, thanks to his recent suspension.
The brief visit Fox had with Bull four months ago had been a contentious—but powerful—encounter. Therefore, he’s not surprised when he shows up on his doorstep unannounced and has to pull out some of his best tricks to get past the six-foot-four, stubborn Texan.
Fox is only there to safeguard what’s most important to Bull. But being on the ranch brings an awareness to him that he embraces with both hands. Nature, peace… love—things he never found in the city.

“So you’re twenty-four?” Shit. Will had known there was a big age gap between them, but he had no idea it was that big. Will looked at where his hand brushed over Eddie’s chest and swallowed. He loved seeing it there, but he was far too old for him. It wasn’t like he felt his age, but still….
“Okay, now you look panicked. What’s the problem? I’m legal everywhere.” He smirked. But it didn’t make Will feel any better.
“I’m forty-three. I’m probably the same age as your father.” Will grimaced, pulling away from him.
“Two years older, actually.” At Will’s horror, Eddie cackled and reached for his hand, squeezing it. “God, you should see the look on your face right now. Dad turns fifty-five this year. Like I said, older siblings. But even if you were older than him, it doesn’t matter. We’ve got enough in common that our ages haven’t been a problem so far. It’s just a number. I like a silver fox anyway.” He raised his fingertips to Will’s face and gently scratched his beard, then touched his temples. Will’s heart beat a staccato rhythm with his soft touch. “Do you have any grey besides here? Because seriously, I’d love on you so hard if you were a full silver fox.” Will blushed and looked away. “Oh my God, you do, don’t you? Your beard? Chest hair?” Will looked down self-consciously and nodded. He’d noticed a few grey hairs coming through a couple of months earlier, and he’d been tossing up whether to wax it ever since.
Eddie pushed him to his back, straddled him, and leaned over to the lamp, bringing up the light in the room. Will’s hands went to his hips, and he sucked in a breath when Eddie leaned down and dropped a few light kisses on his chest and licked his nipple, lining up their cocks at the same time. Eddie’s moan had Will squirming under him, and as his fingers tightened around Eddie’s hips, he ground his teeth. Forcing himself not to rock against Eddie, Will’s mind whited out when the other man whispered in his ear, “I want to make love to you, Will. I want to make you shout my name when you come. I want to explore everything that you like and love, and I can’t wait to do it, but as much as I can’t wait, I’m forcing myself to. I want more with you than a one-night stand.”
Any uncertainty Will had in being with him dissolved—his position, their age gap, everything—and he wrapped his hand around Eddie’s nape and brought their mouths together. Their kiss was ravenous, desperate as they let the chemistry between them ignite into an inferno. The way his tongue stroked Will’s, the way Eddie’s lips melded to his were heady. Intoxicating. Will was already addicted. Want and need slammed into him, and he ached to get closer. Will didn’t care whether Eddie was over him or under him as long as they moved together until they couldn’t figure out where each of them ended, and the other began.
His body, tight and small against Will’s more muscular frame, was so utterly sexy. Lean and strong, compact and so fluid in his movements, the simple thrust of his hips against Will’s as Eddie ground down, dragging their dicks together had Will arching into his touch. Will’s cock was hard, throbbing under Eddie’s weight.
Never mind waiting. Will wanted it all, and he wanted it now. But the whispered promise of more was a temptation he couldn’t ignore. He hadn’t been looking, but now that he’d stumbled across someone who called to him on a level beyond just sex, it was difficult to walk away from the possibility. Except that the need to touch him and let him touch Will amplified, multiplying exponentially until it was all he could focus on.
