You know what they say about the dating pool in a small town– Ankle Deep

A town with only two gay men didn’t even qualify as that. Salvation, New Mexico may have been a great place to start his own salon but Kevin Tarrant needed a man capable of speaking in full sentences. Bo Hopkins was stunningly handsome but try getting more than four words out of him and well, Kevin just didn’t have that kind of time in his life.

Bo took one look at Kevin and knew all the pieces of his life had fallen into place. This was the guy he could spend the rest of his life with. But one misunderstanding, one huge leap to a wrong conclusion and three years later he was still trying to recover. One night to clear the bad vibes between them and they could at least be friends, yeah friends, that was what he wanted. 

So friends help with renovations, they have dinner together, helping a kid in jeopardy? A stretch but sure. But when Kevin’s business is targeted he’ll step up and protect his new found family.

This deluxe edition comes with the bonus book Lovers: The Shorts. This set of four novellas features side characters that were just too good to let go. There is an age-gap love story that frankly he might be older but he is the definition of man-child. A girl grows up, leaves the ranch and has a love story of her own. A heroine's frienemy comes around. Tish and Gomez- no, not Addams. They sometimes have a holiday attached but not always. They are great for feeling like you are catching up with old friends!
