Atreus Rosewood
Description
An unexpected inheritance. A smiling preacher with a dark past. And a love like a tornado that threatens to consume them all.
CASH I didn’t come back
...
to Sagebrush for a warm welcome. I came back to bury the father who disowned me and take over the ranch that was my birthright. Then the tornado hit. It ripped through the valley, and leveled my inheiritance to splinters. Now I’m a cowboy with nowhere to go, too stubborn to ask for help and too broke to refuse it. Enter Pastor Mike. He’s new, he’s trying to hold a broken town together, and he just offered me the spare room in the parsonage. I should have said no. I have no business sharing close quarters with a man of the cloth. Especially a man whose kind eyes and gentle hands make me want things I swore I’d never need again. I thought he was just trying to be a friendly neighbor. But the closer we get in that tiny house, the more I realize I don’t want a friend. I want him.
MIKE I came to Sagebrush to outrun the dark things in my past. I wanted a fresh start, a quiet pulpit, and a chance to do some good. Instead, I got a natural disaster. The town is in chaos, my congregation needs me, and then there’s Cash Callahan. He’s devastatingly handsome, perpetually scowling, and entirely alone. Offering him a place to stay was the right thing to do. It might also be the most dangerous mistake I’ve ever made. Cash is a storm all on his own. He pushes my buttons, tests my patience, and walks around my parsonage looking like a sin I’m desperate to commit. I preach acceptance. I tell this community that everyone is worthy of love. But as my own secrets threaten to catch up with me, I have to wonder if a grumpy, grieving cowboy will be the one to save me?
Welcome back to Sagebrush. Where the storms are wild, the secrets run deep, and love strikes when you least expect it.
