He'd been kept quiet his whole life...
When chemist and cowboy Paul Ditterson sees the other men on the ranch resisting their intended mates, he vows when his turn comes he won't waste any time claiming him. All that changes the moment he looks into his mate's terrified eyes. With huge gaps in his memory, Jacob Brown is torn between trusting Paul and fearing him. As Jacob vacillates between being painfully shy and shockingly bold, more of his past is revealed. But the more he remembers, the more he wishes he didn't. If there's one thing the men of the Rough River Ranch have learned, it's that every pair's mating is unique. As chemical reactions pull them together, the truth about Jacob's past might push them apart. Will Paul and Jacob overcome their trials or will the two men be forced to find other mates?
