The Ranch Hand. Willow Creek, #1

He came to Willow Creek to work. He never expected to fall in love. Travis Brooks is running from grief, from his past, and from the ache of wanting something he's never been allowed to claim. When he takes a job as a ranch hand outside the quiet town of Willow Creek, he expects long days, hard labor, and solitude. What he doesn't expect is Wyatt Campbell. Wyatt is everything Travis shouldn't want-married, respected, rooted in the land and the life Travis swore he'd never put down roots in again.
But the pull between them is undeniable. Every shared look, every brush of hands, every stormy night chips away at the lines they both try to hold. As desire turns into something deeper, Wyatt is forced to choose between the life he's built and the love he never saw coming. And Travis must decide whether he's willing to stay and fight for a future that could cost them both everything. Set against the wide skies and quiet tensions of a working horse ranch, The Ranch Hand is a steamy, emotionally charged gay romance about forbidden love, impossible choices, and finding home where you least expect it.
