Pearls, Porches And Peanuts — A.J. Llewellyn

MacIntosh "Tosh" Tanner has had the worst year of his life with the cancellation of his TV series, Cowboy County, and a former business manager stealing his money. And now his boyfriend's dumped him, too. He fears for his future until he receives an unexpected surprise. He's inherited a massive, rundown ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas, from a fan. It's worth over a million bucks. Discovering he shares this bizarre estate with another beneficiary, he wonders who it could be. Anyone would be great as long as it's not his archenemy, Dagan Rucker. Dagan, Tosh's former co-star, was also swindled by the same business manager, but over his lengthy career, he invested in a lot of property. Settled in Topanga, the real cowboy heart of L.A, he bought the area's first-ever working ranch and turned it into a bed-and-breakfast. He's happy with his life, but lonely, and thinks about Tosh often, ever since they shared a scorching encounter five years ago. He's tried for so long to work things out with Tosh, who refuses to even consider the possibility of them being together. Can anything change the way Tosh feels about Dagan?
