The Mule Man — Deirdre O'Dare

Orville "Orr" Loveless is exactly where he knows he belongs, rescuing and training mules. Despite their reputation, which Orr feels is undeserved, he knows mules are smart, sure-footed, and great mounts for trail riding and outdoor adventures. He has no tolerance for anyone who mistreats them or any other animals but he can't always give such folks the "what for" they deserve. The only thing he lacks is a human partner to share the work and the fun, and he knows his lifestyle is not likely to attract one. Jase Keller is drawn back to New Mexico where his forgotten roots have remained. His high finance job is about to destroy him and he desperately needs a big change of pace for this vacation. The only problem is, Orr Loveless doesn't seem to want to take him on a wilderness trip and is determined to send him packing. It's the opposite of the farm boy seeing the city for the first time. Jase sees another life and it's the one he wants. The only trick is to convince Orr that Jase can be the partner he needs. But how can he persuade a stubborn mule man?Genres: Gay / Contemporary / Western (Modern Day) / Action / Adventure
