Blurb:
When Jake Taggart fell from the roof of his barn,
Tor had only one thought -- to reach out to Chance Shanahan and Tucker McBride
for support. In this follow-up to Never Too Early: The Beginning, the first
book in the Cowboy/Firefighter series, the two couples are reunited in their
mutual concern for Jake. But how far will that concern go?
A strong friendship begins to explore the boundaries
of something else; something all four men never looked for or expected.
Emotions and attraction are difficult to deny, try as they might, but giving in
has the potential to destroy everything both couples have worked so hard for.
How will they handle something that none of them set out to find?
Excerpt:
Jake reached out and touched the back of Chance's hand.
"Thank you for coming all this way to be with me. Thank you for coming to
sit next to me, and for helping Tor. Thank you for everything you and Tucker
have done around here, but mostly thank you for being someone I can count
on." Jake nodded firmly and looked up into Chance's face, studying his
eyes. "Thanks for caring so much."
Chance's gaze was steady
and direct. "I didn't mean to," he said quietly. "I thought you
were a good guy, that's all. I thought you were nice and funny and smart and
easy to talk to. I didn't mean for there to be more than that."
Jake nodded. "I
know. We all know. But there is, and I'm okay with that. Thankful for it,
really. And so is Tor. And Tucker sent me upstairs to talk to you, and said not
to let you overthink it." He smiled, trying not to shake with nerves.
"So sit down here next to me and stop thinking."
About the
authors:
Chris Owen: I live and write in eastern Canada. I went to a bunch of schools, learned a lot
of things, and now make stuff up because not to do so is unthinkable. I'm fond
of fountain pens, Levenger's Circa system, and Steampunk fashions. Lately I've
been watching a lot of Discovery channel. I've seen every episode of CSI Las
Vegas and New York, but I'm not terribly keen on CSI Miami. It might be due to
weather envy. I have a crush on the whole cast of Criminal Minds, and fondness
for wool. The two are not related. Hoarders keeps me honest. I'm inspired by
the day to day minutia of life, and find beauty in the way words go together. I
like texture and richness of experience. I'm not shy. I'm happy, I'm learning,
I'm living.
Tory Temple: Tory lives and works in southern
California, where she spends a lot of time around firemen. She visits the beach
frequently and wears flip flops even in the winter. Tory likes television,
salted pistachios in the shell, and chenille socks. She dislikes cauliflower,
not being able to find the right shoes in the morning, and not having enough
free time. She shares her space with numerous pets, including but not limited
to cats, dogs, and tortoises.
