Storie della prateria: Libro 3

L'ultima cosa che Liam Southard si aspetta quando fugge da un padre violento è di essere accolto in un ranch gestito da una coppia gay. Presto trova un nuovo lavoro e un nuovo punto di vista sulla propria sessualità, e la sua vita ricomincia. Poi qualcuno gli punta contro un fucile.

In difesa di Troy Gardener, bisogna dire che la faccenda del fucile era tutto un equivoco. Fra la rovina del suo matrimonio e la vita in solitudine nel capanno di caccia di suo zio, era un po' nervoso. Vorrebbe scusarsi con Liam e, una volta scoperto quanto hanno in comune, vuole anche qualcosa di più. Ma fra l'arrivo inaspettato del padre di Liam e una compagnia mineraria che minaccia la fonte d'acqua del ranch, l'unica cosa certa è che la vita da quelle parti non sarà noiosa.
