Let 'Er Puck is Up for Preorder!

BA Tortuga — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Releasing September 15 in Audio, Ebook, and Paperback!

When Evan Halloway must travel to Northern New Mexico to stand-in with his best friend’s son, Max, because the fool kid has gotten into a sticky situation, that last thing he expects is to love the place. Everything there seems designed to poke, scrape, prod, or burn a guy including the food, but it makes Evan admire the landscape. And then there’s cowboy bull fighter Sam Marron, the father of the young woman his best friend’s kid has gotten pregnant. He rubs Evan the wrong way from the get-go. Until he doesn’t.

Sam is a cowboy through and through, and he has no time for the fancy retired hockey player from Boston. Or his adopted family. It’s his little girl who will have to deal with this for the rest of her life, and he’s going to defend her to his last breath. But Sam finds out that Even is not only unreasonably hot, he’s a good guy, too. And that goes a long way with him in making Evan his lover, not his enemy.

The two of them navigate family politics, careers where they both travel, and wrangle some long-distance problems, but everything comes to a head when Sam and his daughter come to Boston meet Max’s family face to face. Then Evan has to decide what family means to him, and Sam as to learn to lean on Evan a little bit and fully let him in. Can they learn to let ‘er puck and be together all the way, or will the stress tear them apart?

Paperback, audio, and ebook available here.

Century Trails Out Now!

BA Tortuga — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Y'all. This is the first new Roughstock universe book in many years, and I'm tickled to introduce you to Dawson and Seamus.

🐴 Contemporary

🐴 First in a Series (you don't have to have read the first Roughstock season)

🐴 Cameos from Old Favorites

🐴 Grumpy/Sunshine

🐴 Movie Star Meets Bullfighter

The last thing cowboy Dawson Kincade needs in his life is a job teaching a bored Hollywood star how to fight bulls. But since he’s off work while recovering from an injury, he’s doing just that at his idol, Coke Pharris’s bull fighting school. He’s grumpy about it, and he expects the actor in question to be spoiled and entitled but, to his surprise, he finds so much more.

Seamus Givens has no idea why Dawson dislikes him so much on sight, but he’s at a bull fighting school in New Mexico to learn something for his job, so he can put up with it. He just has to do what he needs to do, and then he can go home. The thing is, he finds a lot to admire in Dawson, and he has a feeling they could be friends, at the very least.

Once Dawson sees Seamus, his sunny personality and his hardcore work ethic, he knows how wrong he was, and the two of them are willing to admit how attracted they are to each other. But Dawson is a bull fighter, and Seamus is a megastar. Can they find a way to combine their lives, and deal with all of the emergency problems that come their way, or will their trails go in different directions?

Century Trails is the first book in the new Roughstock Season Two, and features a grumpy bull fighter, a sunshine nepo-baby actor, and a lot of learning and loving someone who lives a completely opposites attract life.
