Den Stationsbesitzer und seinen Vorarbeiter zusammen zu sehen, lässt Jesse darüber nachdenken, ob es nicht doch Vorteile hat, sich niederzulassen. Aber als er begreift, was Chris für ihn fühlt, gerät er in Panik. Er und Chris werden sich entscheiden müssen, ob die Möglichkeit zusammen glücklich zu werden, es wert ist, ein Risiko einzugehen, ehe das Ende der Saison sie trennt.
Onorare la terra (Lang Downs (Italiano) #5)
by Ariel Tachna Claudia MilaniSeguito di Domare le fiammeSerie Lang Downs, Libro 5Il sogno di Seth Simms non è mai stato di diventare un jackaroo, e in effetti, stando a quanto dice il suo miglior amico Jason Thompson, non lo è. Ha solo avuto la fortuna, dieci anni prima, di trasferirsi a Lang Downs insieme al fratello. La vita nella stazione gli ha dato la stabilità necessaria a finire la scuola e frequentare l’università, ma il giovane non ha mai pensato che Lang Downs potesse diventare per lui il porto sicuro che sembra essere per tanti altri. Sa di essere troppo incasinato e crede che nessuno sarebbe disposto a prendersi in casa qualcuno con tutti i suoi problemi. Sin da piccolo, Jason ha avuto un solo scopo nella vita: lavorare a Lang Downs come veterinario al bisogno e come jackaroo il resto del tempo. Può così approfittare delle sporadiche visite di Seth per stare con lui, anche se il sogno di passare da amici ad amanti sembra destinato a non avverarsi mai, visto che il ragazzo è etero. Quando Seth torna a casa all’improvviso con l’intenzione di rimanere, Jason accoglie la notizia con la gioia che merita, ma destreggiarsi tra la relazione con un altro jackaroo e l’amicizia con il giovane meccanico non si rivela facile, soprattutto quando scopre quanto profondi siano i problemi di Seth e con quali mezzi il ragazzo cerchi di tenerli a bada.

En sortir pourrait tuer sa carrière – mais nier ses sentiments pour Steve pourrait tuer la seule partie de lui qui est réelle.
Wenn der Staub sich legt (Timing (Deutsch))
by Mary Calmes Heike ReifgensEin Titel der Timing SerieGlenn Holloways berechenbares Leben endete an jenem Tag, als er seiner Familie gestand, dass er schwul ist. Dass er kurz darauf die Ranch, auf der er aufwuchs, verließ, um das Restaurant zu eröffnen, von dem er immer geträumt hatte, streute nur noch Salz in die Wunde. Ohne die Unterstützung seines Vaters und seines Bruders und zu stolz, um Hilfe von anderen zu akzeptieren, musste er ganz von vorne anfangen. Doch im Lauf der Zeit wendete sich das Blatt: Glenn führte sein Restaurant zum Erfolg, schuf sich ein neues Zuhause und ein Leben, auf das er stolz sein kann. Doch trotz seines Erfolges ist die Entfremdung von den Holloways eine Wunde, die nicht richtig heilen will, und als er sich gezwungen sieht, einen erwiesenen Gefallen zurückzuzahlen, findet er sich in seinem schlimmsten Albtraum wieder. Gefangen in seinem einst gegebenen Versprechen kehrt Glenn zu seinen Wurzeln zurück, um seinem Halbbruder zu helfen, Rand Holloway, und wird mit Mac Gentry konfrontiert, einem Mann, der viel zu verlockend für Glenns Seelenfrieden ist. Es könnte alles in einer Katastrophe enden – einer Katastrophe für die zarten Annäherungen an eine Wiederversöhnung mit seiner Familie und für das Verlangen, von dem Glenn nicht einmal wusste, dass es in seinem Herzen ruht.

Er liebt seine kleine Ranch in Kalifornien, seine Pferdezucht und den Reitunterricht mit den Kindern, die er vergöttert – für eigene Kinder und einen geliebten Menschen in seinem Leben müsste er sich outen und damit alles, was er sich erarbeitet hat, aufs Spiel setzen. Dann begleitet er trotz seiner Flugangst seine Eltern zu einem Urlaub nach Hana in Hawaii, wo er den dunkelhaarigen, geheimnisvollen Kai Kealoha kennenlernt, einen echten hawaiianischen Cowboy. Rand mag Kais junge Geschwister und lechzt nach Kai, doch der Mann ist stachliger als eine Krötenechse und undurchschaubarer als seine exotische Heimat. Kai hat sich ein zurückgezogenes Leben aufgebaut, in dem er „seine“ Kinder beschützen kann, und sollte sich zu seinem und ihrem Wohl von dem großen, gut aussehenden Cowboy fernhalten. Nur wie viel Schaden kann ein **Haole** bei einem kurzen Urlaub schon anrichten? Als jedoch Kais schlimmste Befürchtungen und Rands dunkelste Albträume Wirklichkeit werden, gibt es nicht viel Hoffnung für zwei Cowboys, die sich nicht outen können – oder wollen.

Un jour, malgré sa phobie de prendre l’avion, il part en vacances à Hana, Hawaii, avec ses parents et rencontre le ténébreux et mystérieux Kai Kealoha, un vrai cowboy hawaiien. Rand se prend d’affection pour le petit frère et la petite sœur de Kai autant qu’il s’éprend du jeune homme, mais Kai est plus piquant qu’un lézard à cornes et plus mystérieux que le territoire exotique dont il est originaire. Kai tient à son intimité et vit pour protéger ses « enfants ». Pour le bien de tout le monde, il vaut mieux qu’il garde ses distances avec le beau et grand cowboy – mais comme cet homme n’est qu’un *haole* venu prendre de courtes vacances, peut-il vraiment causer des dommages ? Quand les plus grandes peurs de Kai et les cauchemars les plus atroces de Rand deviennent réalité, il y a peu d’espoir pour une relation entre deux cowboys qui ne peuvent pas – ou ne veulent pas – se révéler au grand jour.
