Gemini: Ryder: Gemini Duet Book One

By Jodi Payne and Ba Tortuga

Widower Charles Martin has been very alone. His husband was lost to him long before Tad physically passed and Charles is at loose ends in their big, empty house. When a mutual friend suggests he hire a cowboy named Ryder as a personal assistant, he isn't sure what to expect.

Ryder Vales lost his bull riding career to a serious head injury that left him a different man. He's searching for something to do for work and for some peace in his life. He finds what he needs in taking care of Charles, serving and cooking for him, and in keeping him company.

Charles might be a good deal older than Ryder, but the two of them find comfort and then more together, building something that could seem odd to others, especially Ryder's twin brother Roper, but that makes them both happy. Ryder isn't sure if what he wants with Charles is what he deserves, though. Can Charles convince him that they're the only two people who need to care what their relationship looks like?

Gemini: Ryder, the first book in a duet, is an opposites attract, D/s romance featuring a retired bull rider and a wealthy widower.
