Chapter One
Nate Gills looked out the passenger window at the Rocky Mountains. It was beautiful
country, but he was ready to get the hell out of this truck. It seemed like he hadn’t really had
a home since he left Chicago to help his friends, the Good brothers in Nebraska.
He looked over at the hunk of a man driving. Rio was like a wet dream, the best bits
from all his fantasy men rolled into one. At least he now had a family. Rio and their other
partner Ryan meant the world to Nate. They may have only been together for a month, but

think he’d ever seen a man who looked more like a rebel than Ryan.
With the shining, long black hair of his Native American ancestors, Ryan exuded
confidence and sexuality. The town of Cattle Valley had been experiencing a few problems
with protestors coming in and threatening its residents. The mayor wanted someone tough.
Since Ryan looked more like a heavily tattooed biker than a Sheriff, he was perfect. Nate was
just worried about what he would find. He and Rio hadn’t yet seen Cattle Valley and Nate
was born and raised in Chicago. It wasn’t like he was snooty or anything, heck he’d loved
Sommerville, the small Nebraska town where’d he’d met Rio and Ryan. Nate and Rio had
