So why has he spent twelve years pining for his best friend instead of doing something about it? Because losing Nick would be like existing with half of his heart. Is it better to settle for what he can have or battle for what he wants?</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Banged up and burned out, FBI Agent Nick Scott arrives at Redemption Ridge with a trunkful of luggage and a yearning heart. Cash is easy to love but hard to read, and Nick fears his epiphany has come too late.

No more what-ifs or maybes. Cash and Nick are all in. And they’ll need each other more than ever when a devious enemy emerges from the shadows to put their promising future at risk.

What snack was most suitable for a forty-nine-year-old man while bingeing the newest season of <i>Heartstopper? </i>Cash wasn’t one to use his age as a reason to avoid many things, but he wasn’t proud of his obsession with the series about queer teenagers and their first loves. Their vitality and innocence sometimes made him feel older than dirt, but mostly it made him grateful that a new generation could see themselves in the characters.</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">It was unlikely Cash’s life would’ve turned out differently if he’d had positive representation as a teen. He’d lost his mom to poverty and drugs and had gone to live with strangers at a time when he was figuring things out about himself. Cash hadn’t felt comfortable coming out, or letting others in, until he was thirty. He’d rebuilt his life from the ashes of his past and had been tired of living a lie. The penniless dirt track racer had to pretend, but the successful technology inventor did not. Cash had thought his newly gained wealth would insulate him from scrutiny and scorn, but it only perpetuated the narrative that he was an outsider who didn’t belong. But those closed doors and snubs didn’t deter him; they fueled the perpetual fire in his soul and made him richer.</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">He couldn’t think of a single hard knock he’d change because they’d all led him to this point. Well, maybe not to standing in a grocery store staring at the same bag of Fritos for a solid ten minutes. He meant his ranch, his people, and the journey he’d taken to have them in his life. Contentment didn’t negate his few regrets or warm his bed, but the one man who could fix both problems was across the country. Who the hell was he kidding? It wouldn’t have mattered if Nick was at Quantico, on Mars, or standing beside Cash. He was off-limits. Cash just needed to convince his foolish heart of that fact—a feat he hadn’t accomplished in twelve years. But had he really tried that hard?</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">A warm, masculine chuckle invaded his thoughts, and Cash jerked his head to find Seth Burke approaching him. He bit back a snort. Burke didn’t approach; he swaggered with big dick energy. The sheriff was a good five inches taller, a few years younger, and had the persistence of a bloodhound when it came to Cash. Burke’s uniform consisted of a pressed khaki shirt, dark denim jeans, boots, and a white Stetson hat. Cash wasn’t sure what shone brighter in the store’s overhead lights—the shiny sheriff star pinned to Burke’s shirt or his white, toothy grin. Damn, but the man was fine as hell with jet-black hair, gray eyes, and sun- kissed skin. No matter the time of day, that superhero square jaw was clean-shaven to show off his magnificent bone structure. Why the hell couldn’t Cash return the man’s interest? He could trade heartache for the kind of twinges and stings that left a man smiling instead of moping.</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">“What’d that bag of chips do to you?” Burke asked when he reached Cash. His voice was jovial, pure good ole boy, but the tension around Burke’s mouth betrayed him.</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">Cash snorted and faced his friend. “I was just lost in thought.” He glanced down and saw Burke had already placed several items in his basket. “I didn’t see your truck in the parking lot.”</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">A dark brow arched. “Or you would’ve kept driving?”</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">Cash sighed. “Of course not. I was just making conversation.”</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">“The inane kind you make when you’ve been avoiding your friend?” Burke pressed.</span></p> <p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;">Were they friends? They met for lunch regularly at the diner and texted often, so definitely more friendly than acquaintances.</span></p></blockquote><p class="P_Normal"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p> </blockquote> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Saints Like Him Teaser 2" class="size-full wp-image-14670 aligncenter" height="335" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2023/11/saints-like-him-teaser-2.png" width="640" /></span></p> <hr /> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Giveaway:</span></h2> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">To celebrate the release of <em>Saints Like Him</em>, Aimee is giving away 3 e-copies of the release!</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for your chance to win!</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/cc0f2a57785/?">A Rafflecopter Giveaway</a></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/cc0f2a57785/?</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Saints Like Him Teaser 1" class="size-full wp-image-14672 aligncenter" height="335" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2023/11/saints-like-him-teaser-1.png" width="640" /></span></div> <div><hr /> <h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Join us for Book 1 in the Redemption Ridge Series with:<br />Guys Like Him</span></h1> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Guys Like Him Cover" class="size-full wp-image-12958 aligncenter" height="640" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2023/05/guys-like-him-cover.jpg" width="427" /></span></p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Redemption Ridge, Book 1</span></h2> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kieran Sullivan is broken when he arrives at Redemption Ridge. A wrongful conviction and twenty months in lockup will do that to a man. The ranch is a place for second chances and fresh starts, but for him, it’s an opportunity to discover who set him up. Get in, get answers, and get out. The plan sounds easy enough until Kieran meets an equine specialist whose sunny smile could warm the coldest heart.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finley Ashe is a sucker for bruised spirits and sad eyes. The horse whisperer and broken-boy magnet is six months into a hiatus from love when Kieran, the king of emotionally unavailable men, gets assigned to work under his supervision. Mutual attraction is gasoline on proximity’s flame, testing Finley’s resistance in new ways.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Priorities shift, shields come down, and truths get exposed. Will the inevitable combustion redeem Kieran and Finley or consume them?</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>Guys Like Him</em></strong><em> is book one in the Redemption Ridge series.
