Ethan Evans had spent his whole life doing what everyone else wanted—working the ranch, pretending he was straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he was stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss, a man he couldn’t stop noticing.
Carter Higgins showed up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he’d stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying an authority that made people straighten up. He had a past he didn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he did have was discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.
As the two of them clashed, circled, and collided in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blurred fast and spankings might have been in order. Neither expected to want the other.
