    Summary

    Ethan grew up the golden boy of his father’s small lesson ranch—obedient, hardworking, and silent about the bruises that life left behind. Now grown, he keeps his head down, content to serve others and lose himself in the steady rhythm of caring for horses. Love was never in the cards, especially not with another man. Cowboys weren’t supposed to love cowboys. That’s what Ethan was taught, and what he believed.
    Then Wade walked in—tattooed, all quiet confidence and calloused hands. He carried his scars like proof of survival, and for the first time, Ethan saw what it might mean to live instead of just exist. Between them, something fragile begins to take shape: long days in the barn, quiet nights at Wade’s kitchen table, laughter that shakes something loose inside Ethan, and a kind of touch that makes the silence of his life a little easier to bear.
    But family names are hard to wash off, and in a town where tradition weighs heavier than truth, Ethan has to decide whether to keep living the life he was raised for—or risk everything for the one he wants. With Wade beside him, he just might find the courage to start over, build a home of his own, and finally live as the man he was never allowed to be.
