adriarmstrong: (Lemons Inverted)
His Brother's Secret

Callum Locke is a cattle rancher with a gruff exterior, a soft heart, and a habit of taking in strays. TJ Morris may not be the first stranger to show up at Locke Ranch looking for help, but he's stranger than most. TJ claims to be doing research for a book, but there's more to the young man's request than a desire to learn the ins-and-outs of cattle ranching.

Callum has no idea who TJ is, or what he might be running from. Even more troubling is the way TJ watches him, sharp and fascinated and subtle as a brick. When the rest of Callum's chosen family starts pointing out TJ's crush, the only choice is to shut him down before he can get any ideas.

It doesn't matter if the fascination is mutual. TJ is far too young for Callum's grizzled old heart, and far too lost to be anything but a bad idea.

[This book depicts a wide age gap, false pretenses, consent issues, slow burn feelings, and an explicit romance between brothers.]
