Reins and Restraint

By Page Powars

Secret passion springs between a cowboy and a ranch hand in this warm and powerful contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Page Powars.

Bennett Murphy needs a fresh start. Since losing his technician job for being transgender, the opportunity to uproot his life to Frostbit Ranch in the Montana mountains seems too good to be true...until the ranch reveals his role is not to work as an engineer, but to teach the owner's charming thirty-year-old son, Graham, how to ride the horses.

After so many early mornings and late nights in the stables and fields, Graham Henderson's dream of running Frostbit is about to be realized. That is, if he can learn from Bennett's steady attitude and distractingly handsome face and finally conquer his fear of getting in the saddle to become the cowboy the ranch needs, not the gardener he longs to be.

As Bennett and Graham spend long days together, their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore. But they agree it can't be serious, even as stolen glances turn into steamy encounters at night. Bennett is Graham's teacher, his contract ends in the spring, and both men have too much at stake to risk being discovered. But can feelings this big stay hidden for long under Montana's wide-open skies?
