Blurb:  Letting people in is never easy, but sometimes you have to in order to be happy.

Kir is one of the exotic shifters rescued by Craig. He never went home, choosing to stay with the Gillham pack, but he never really integrated himself into the pack. He wanted to make sure the pack wouldn’t betray him like his skulk had. He took his time to observe, and he finally decided it was time to make friends.

Quinn knows he’s a prickly bastard. He had to hide behind that façade for most of his life, and now he can’t step from behind it, not that he wants to. It feels safer to keep most people at arm’s length. He didn’t expect to find his mate when Kameron called him and Malik to help with the rival council though, and he knows Kir is probably the only one who can wiggle his way into his heart if he lets his guard down.

Kir does his best to get under Quinn’s shell, but when the man punches him and tells him to stay away, he gets the message, even though he still hopes he’ll be able to change Quinn’s mind. He knows he has a great opportunity when Kameron assigns him as a bodyguard for Quinn, but will he be able to protect Quinn and make him fall in love with him? Will Quinn finally let someone in, or will he stay safely ensconced in his hard shell?

Blurb: Foster dreams of getting away, but after his father’s death, he has to take over the family dairy farm. It soon becomes clear his father hasn’t been doing the best job of running it, so not only does Foster need to take over the day-to-day operations, he also needs to find new ways of bringing in revenue.

Javi has no time to dream. He and his family are migrant workers, and daily survival is a struggle, so they travel to anywhere they can get work. When they arrive in their old van, Foster arranges for Javi to help him on the farm.

To Javi’s surprise, Foster listens to his ideas and actually puts them into action. Over days that turn into weeks, they grow to like and then care for each other, but they come from two very different worlds, and they both have responsibilities to their families that neither can walk away from. Is it possible for them to discover a dream they can share? Perhaps they can plant their own and nurture it together to see it grow, if their different backgrounds don’t separate them forever.

The only problem is … well, Jude doesn’t actually know.

Anton can see how this will play out: Jude is a nice guy, and nice guys finish last. And Anton is transgender, and transgender people don’t get happy endings. If he tells Jude, it might destroy everything.

And if Jude tells anyone else … it will.

Honorary Blogger R.J. Scott: Do You Want Another Book? + Giveaway!

Do You Want Another Book?

by R.J. Scott

So, Montana 2 released and the emails and posts began. The end of M2, The Rancher’s Son, has an ending that intrigued (thank goodness it worked!) and I’d added at the end that the next book would be out in October 2016.

That didn’t go down so well. That was a long time, but I said that I was writing Legacy, and Sanctuary, and that Montana would happen on time.

And then I listened to the readers, to the ones who emailed me, and being an independently published author I have wiggle room in my schedule (which is planned through to Jan 2018 now – my editor is crying). So I pulled M3 forward, A Cowboy’s Home became my new focus, and the book flowed really nicely.

Only I didn’t know it was going to be quite so dark, but then, how dark could I go before offering Justin redemption.

The thing I love most about being an author – apart from the fact stories and writing are my first love outside family – is the emails I receive, or the comments in reviews.

If you love a book, tell the author. I know I do, in fact I fan girl Jordan L Hawk, Marie Sexton, Charlie Cochet, Avery Cockburn, and more! I would love to hear from you, and I promise I always reply!

Do you write to authors you like?

About A Cowboy’s Home

29424694One burned and broken man finds his way home. Can he find peace in the arms of a man easy to love?

Justin made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, battling domestic terrorism, never the man he really was, using hate to avenge the death of his best friend. The friend he’d killed.

What he doesn’t count on is getting shot, and if he’s going to die he wants it to be on Crooked Tree soil. Home.

Sam is as much a part of Crooked Tree as any of the families, and the offer to buy into the ranch is a dream come true. But falling for a hidden, secretive, injured man isn’t the way to keep his head in the game.
