The Sheriff and the Outlaw — Ryan Field

When Sebastian loses his wonderful husband of ten years in an accident, he's not only emotionally devastated, but also financially ruined. He can't turn to family because they turned their backs on him when he told them he was gay, and Sebastian's late husband owed so much he's about to lose everything, including the mobile home he spent so many years making perfect. But just when Sebastian thinks there's no hope at all, he inherits the meager estate of a distant uncle he's never even met.

The fictional town of picturesque Glendora Hill, Texas appears to be perfect, which is exactly what Sebastian and his teenage son need after all the heartache they've gone through. But it's not going to be easy. And as they begin to make new lives in this odd but friendly little town so far from their lives in Houston, Sebastian stops playing by the rules for a while. That is until the town's cowboy sheriff, Avery Baldwin, confronts Sebastian about a few rules he's overlooked.

As Sebastian rebuilds his life and the dilapidated property he inherited, with perfectly pruned shrubbery, a bright white porch swing, and two very strapping young studs he takes in as tenants, he also discovers a few secrets about his past through the one man who seems to understand him. And as the secrets of Sebastian's childhood unfold and emotions he thought were dead forever begin to reawaken, he's terrified of the only man who can actually help him move forward.
