Clouds and Rain by Zahra Owens is a standalone m/m western ranch-set romance, free courtesy of publisher Dreamspinner Press as their final Xmas countdown offering for the 31st.
This is a medium-heat 3-flames-on-the-ARE scale novel, and your fun fact for the day is that "
clouds and rain" (link is Safe For Work unless someone really prudish is squinting disapprovingly over your shoulder) is an ancient Chinese phrase commonly used as a euphemism for sex and/or orgasm. Just so you know; and knowing is half the battle, as those ancient GI Joe cartoons would say.
Free for the next 24 hours without DRM and multiple formats given to you with a single checkout over @
Dreamspinner Press (account signup but no CC info required).

Description
Flynn Tomlinson has drifted for several years, working odd jobs when he needs the money and moving on when he doesn’t. He’s content with his freestyle life, not tied down, not responsible for anyone but himself. Then he comes across a Help Wanted ad in a post office in Idaho and meets Gable Sutton. Gable can’t pay Flynn until he sells his horses, but a serious accident has left him unable to work his ranch alone.
Working with horses beats stacking shelves at the supermarket, and so Flynn agrees to Gable’s terms. What Flynn doesn’t bargain for is being captivated by this gentle, lonely man who captures his heart and moves Flynn to take on an incredible burden: saving Gable’s ranch.
