Free (DRM-free, multiple formats) Calvin's Cowboy [Gay Closeted Relationship Drama]

[ATDrake]

Calvin's Cowboy, by Drew Hunt, is a standalone contemporary m/m closeted gay relationship drama leading to romance, courtesy of publisher JMS Books LLC and AllRomance eBooks as their 12 Days of Christmas countdown for the 23rd. Someone there must really love their cowboys because this is what, the 3rd one thus far?

This has a full 5 flames on the heat index, so presumably some serious uncloseting happens (or they just end up having the hawt sexyfuntimes behind firmly barricaded doors).

Free without DRM in the format of your choice over @ ARE for the next 48 hours. If you missed it, you can still get yesterday's 5-flame f/m shapeshifter paranormal erotic romance Hidden Talents for a limited time.

Hunt also has an additional free short story at ARE, the 1-flame m/m contemporary romance vignette The Way to Will.

And his novella Colin and Martin's Australian Christmas, which is discounted by 30 cents for no apparent reason that I can discern, is probably the only 5-flame m/m erotic romance you'll ever see with just a bounding kangaroo on its cover which isn't supposed to represent some sort of psychically-mated were-kangaroo, as far as I can tell.

Description
Calvin Hamilton reluctantly returns to his home town of Parrish Creek, Texas, to sell his parents' house. Finding the place in need of repair he hires John "Brock" Brockwell to renovate the house before putting it on the market. Brock bares a passing resemblance to Gary Cooper, especially as he often wears western clothing. Calvin has always had a weakness for cowboys.

Time has reversed the two men's fortunes. In high school Brock was the big man on campus, his popularity allowing him to hide his true nature. Calvin was a nerd, bullied by most of the jocks for being perceived as gay. Now Calvin is a successful New York advertising executive, and Brock is a divorced father with a teenage son who faces financial ruin, unable to pay his late father's hospital bills.

Can Calvin put past bitterness behind him and help the cowboy with whom he is rapidly falling in love? Will the deeply closeted Brock be able to admit he has feelings for Calvin? Or will pride, fear, distance, and the past prevent them from building a future together?
