Blurb/Synopsis:
The only path to happiness is freedom: the
freedom to live and love as the heart wants. Claiming that freedom will take
all of the courage one young man has, but he won't have to face it alone. In
small, conservative Sierra Pines, California, Reverend Gabriel is the law. His
son, Willy, follows his dictates, until he meets a man in Sacramento and
reunites with him in his hometown—right under his father's nose. Reggie is
Sierra Pines's newly appointed sheriff. His dedication to the job means not
flaunting his sexuality, but when he sees Willy again, he can't escape the
feeling that they're meant to be together. He'll keep Willy's secret until
Willy is ready to let the world see who he really is. But if going up against
the church and the townspeople isn't enough, the perils of the work Reggie
loves so much might mean the end of their romance before it even gets off the
ground.

Excerpt:
Reggie turned away, took another drink of beer, and snagged a sausage pretzel snack-bite thing that a server had just delivered to the table. Food was a good idea, and he popped one into his mouth and grabbed another just as Vick excused himself and headed to the bathroom.
“Don’t be gone too long or we’ll know what you’ve been doing,” Casey teased. It was an old joke, and Vick flashed Casey the bird before continuing back.
“Uh-oh,” Bobby said, and Reggie looked at him. He tilted his head toward the wall, and Reggie turned. The kid still sat at his table, but now there were two other guys there, one on either side of him. They were big, tough, and had the kid hemmed in. It was a classic intimidation tactic, and the kid’s eyes were like a deer caught in headlights. He stood, probably trying to get away, and one of the men put a hand on his shoulder. Another tactic. The kid sat down, eyes now filling with fear.
“The evil trolls are out tonight,” Casey commented. “Why can’t assholes like that leave everyone alone? For Christ’s sake. All they’re going to do is end up scaring the kid right back into his closet, and it’ll take years before he has the courage to take another step.”
Reggie understood that. He slid off his chair. He hated bullies and wasn’t going to let the kid get hurt.
“Reggie, is that a good idea?” Bobby asked, placing a hand gently on his arm.
“Remember Asshole Art?” Reggie asked.
Bobby pulled his hand away, his eyes growing storm-cloud dark, and Bobby nodded. “Go get ’em.”
Reggie drew himself to his full height and strode over to the table as though he owned the place. “Is there a problem here?” He addressed his question to the scared rabbit kid, who was holding the edge of the table like it was a life preserver. “Are they bothering you?”
“We were having a drink with him.” One of the big guys stood slowly, trying to intimidate, but Reggie knew that game. “Go away if you know what’s good for you.” The words came out of Rat Number One’s yellow-toothed mouth, breath smelling like he’d just eaten dinner out of a dumpster. Reggie inhaled. Neither guy smelled like they’d had a bath in a while.
“How about you let him answer for yourself?” Reggie said.
“I… they… I…,” the kid stammered, gripping the table until his knuckles were white, fear ramping up even more.
“I see.” Reggie turned to Rat One and Rat Two. “I suggest you two get lost… now!” He reached into his pocket and flashed his badge quickly, not giving them a chance to really see it. “You have ten seconds to get up and get out, or I’ll call some friends and we’ll check out your cars. See what you’re hiding. Scum like you are always hiding something.” He smiled, and both rats stared at each other, then practically tripped over themselves to get the hell away.
