    Summary

    “Ben, right?” said the man leaning against the counter, a glass of wine in his hand. He looked a little older than Luke in the face, even though his silver-shot hair was still quite full and dark. There was a softer give to his features; none of the malice Ben had seen in Luke’s eyes was present on this man’s face.

    The man waited until Ben gave a tiny nod before continuing. “I’m Din. Amilyn Holdo told you about the therapy requirements for your stay before you arrived, I assume?” His voice was soft, measured. Disconcertingly neutral.

    Ben nodded again.

    “I’m the therapist,” Din said with a little smile, seeming to realize that Ben had no context for this man’s presence at the ranch. “And Luke’s husband. We own the ranch.”

    Ben has been running from himself his whole life. When he finally hits rock bottom, Ben is enrolled against his will in an equine therapy program run by a man who seems to hate Ben just as much as Ben hates himself. But can seven weeks with a pretty horse trainer at a lonely ranch in the middle of the Nevada desert fix Ben's broken heart?
