Hard Country

The frontier is a brutal place for men with secrets. Jed Stone, a hardened outlaw on the run from a past he's tried to bury in blood and bone, leads a life defined by violence and solitude. Levi Carter, a younger man haunted by his own dangerous desires, has thrown in his lot with Jed, drawn not just by the thrill of the outlaw life but by a desperate, consuming need for the one man who seems to understand the wickedness in his soul.

They share a name that isn't theirs, a hunger they dare not name, and a ledger of sins that could see them both hanging. In the unforgiving landscape of the Wyoming Territory, where betrayal is as common as dust and every shadow could hide a bounty hunter, their volatile partnership is forged in adrenaline and sealed with the sort of brutal, masculine intimacy that only exists in the space between gunshots. They're criminals running from the law and, more terrifyingly, running from the consuming, feelings that have ignited between them— feelings so potent they feel like the real crime.

When a heist goes wrong and a relentless Pinkerton agent named Silas Blackwood begins closing in, Jed and Levi are forced to make their final stand. Trapped in the unforgiving wilderness they know so well, they must face the men hunting them and the violent, insatiable passion that threatens to consume them both. In this hard country, survival isn't just about the gold you steal or the lies you tell. It's about finding a man who's willing to sin with you, and for you.

Hard Country is a raw, gritty, and intensely steamy historical M/M western romance for readers who crave outlaw pacts, gritty survival, and blistering heat both inside and out of the bedroll. This book contains explicit scenes intended for mature audiences only.
