Ricochet

Overview: Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds, getting tattooed, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she's not doing that, she's writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing porn sites in the name of research. BA's personal saviors include her partner, Julia Talbot, her best friend, Sean Michael, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee. Holt is leaving his life in the city, ready to shed himself of the drama of his ex and get back to the simple life in Texas. His ex, Dave, disagrees with the idea. Violently. When Holt ends up injured and stranded, its his old friend, Teague, who comes to the rescue. Teague has always regretted letting Holt slip away, and hell do whatever he needs to keep the man in his life now, even if that means enduring the agony of just friends. Will Holt ever realize how much Teague loves him, or will it be too late for both of them? Originally published in Under This Cowboy's Hat .
