Firefly Ranch (Cowboy Roundup)

When Carver West takes the job of foreman at a Texas ranch, he expects to have to prove himself, but he doesn’t expect the open hostility he gets from lead ranch hand Bishop Guy, even after everyone else has accepted him. When Carver learns Bishop was passed over for the foreman job because he turned down the owner’s sexual advances, Carver wonders if that’s the reason for Bishop’s animosity, or if Bishop really thinks Carver incapable of doing the job. Carver’s undeniable attraction to the man only makes things more complicated, and when an angry Bishop punches Carver in the face, it quickly turns into a hot tumble in the hay. Carver desperately wants more than that tumble. Does Bishop feel the same way?
