Rust and Stardust: A Gay Cowboy Romance

A city boy. A small town cowboy. A love that rewrites the rules.

Lucas

At twenty-five, I thought I had my life figured out—steady job, big-city dreams, and a clear path to the top. But one work assignment to Sagebrush, Texas, is all it takes to throw my carefully laid plans off course. My job is to charm the locals, uncover their secrets, and steal prize-winning barbecue recipes for our next line of frozen dinners. Oh, and not a soul can know.

It should’ve been simple. Until Beau Turner came along.

Beau, with his rugged charm, quiet strength, and those piercing blue eyes that see right through me. Beau, whose smile makes my chest ache in ways I can’t explain. Falling for him wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was falling into his bed.

But Beau isn’t just some small-town cowboy I’m having a heated fling with. He’s the reigning barbecue champion whose recipe I’m supposed to steal. Now, I’m trapped between the man I’ve fallen for and the career I’ve worked so hard to build. If I make the wrong choice, I could lose it all.

Beau

I’ve spent my whole life in Sagebrush, keeping things simple: family, ranching, and perfecting my barbecue recipe. Love? Never been in the cards—especially not with someone like Lucas Greene.

Tall, charming, and completely out of place in my world, Lucas is everything I didn’t know I needed. The way he looks at me makes it hard to breathe, and the way he kisses me makes me want to believe in something more. Nights spent under the stars with him in my arms feel like a dream, but I know he wouldn’t choose a dusty place like Sagebrush to call home, not when he’s got so much to live for back in New York.

But when the truth finally comes out, it’s not just my heart that’s on the line—it’s everything I’ve worked for. And I don’t know if love is enough to fix what’s broken between us.
