#2 Robbie & Paul
Blurb
Sometimes the toughest thing to have faith in is yourself.
The first time Paul Dyson met Robbie Rhodes, they ended up naked in Robbie’s bed. The last time they met, on the ice the morning after, Paul punched Robbie in the face and called him something he’d rather not repeat.
Two years later, they’re teammates on the Seattle Thunder hockey team.
Being gay is wrong, unnatural, and there is no room for them in his world. Paul’s heard that his whole life. So when it hits him that he is gay, he does the only thing he can: he shoves himself so deep in the closet he would need a map to find his way out again.
When the chance to fulfill his lifelong dream comes along, Paul can’t say no, even if it forces him to share hotel rooms with the only man he can’t resist. It doesn’t take long for Paul to give into temptation and find himself falling in love with his brilliant, caring teammate.
But as much as he cares for Paul, Robbie is finding it harder and harder to justify hiding who he is. It goes against everything he was taught was right. He feels like he has a duty to come out to the public. He’d be the first out gay pro-hockey player.
If Paul wants to be with Robbie, he will have to turn his back on his family and everything he’s believed in. If Robbie wants to be will Paul, he’ll have to do the same.
It’s going to take them a lot of faith to find their way together in this shiny new world.
Country Boy is a love story about figuring out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there. It contains sweet hockey plays, a 1976 Corvette Stingray, fancy underwear, and the journey of a lifetime.
EXCERPT
Paul
rolled his eyes. He was seriously tired of having to justify the way
he lived his life to everyone. As if he needed their seal of approval
on his choices. “Really? You don’t understand why someone might
not be ready to walk around waving a rainbow flag? That’s why I saw
pictures of you and your boyfriend on the cover of Sports
Illustrated? Because you’re so out and proud?”
“You
sound like Drew,” Robbie frowned. “Just because I don’t want my
relationships dissected by the fans and the media, doesn’t mean I’m
in the closet. If I were dating a woman, I’d feel the same way.
Probably. Besides, everyone who needs to know knows,” he said
defensively.
Paul
shoved him back with a finger to the chest. “That’s bullshit. You
don’t know who needs to know. Some kid down in the bible belt might
need to know he’s not the only one, so he doesn’t go trying
anything stupid.”
Robbie
pushed Paul’s finger away. “Like what?”
“Like
trying to freeze himself to death in the middle of fucking nowhere
Minnesota,” Paul spit out. “You’re a fucking condescending ass,
but you saved my life that night.”
Robbie’s
jaw dropped. “You were trying to kill yourself?”
Paul
crossed his arms and looked away. “No. Not directly. Kind of. I
don’t know. Suicide is a sin, too.” Paul’s laugh held no humor.
“A literal ‘damned if I do, damned if I don’t’ situation.”

Follow the money or follow your heart? Either way, you lose.
When a blown tire leads directly to mind-blowing sex with a white knight named Dakota, pro-hockey player Bryce Lowery discovers he is most definitely gay.
Being with Dakota opens up a whole new world. Bryce can’t imagine life without him. But he refuses to be Bryce's dirty little secret. If he wants to keep Dakota, he’s either going to have to come out publicly or retire and walk away from millions of dollars.
Bryce Lowery feels like the answer to all of Dakota’s prayers. But is Dakota willing to leave the only life he’s ever known only to be thrust into the spotlight as the boyfriend of the first out gay hockey player? Would their relationship even survive it? He’ll lose Bryce if doesn’t because Bryce will leave eventually. No one would turn down millions of dollars for a nobody with nothing.
City Boy is a first time gay, fish out of water, May/December love story with a happy ending. It features snarky siblings, a dirty-talking farmer, lots of food, and big choices. (No poultry was harmed in the making of this book.)
