Texas Fall –ย Book six in the Texas series
Jack is focusing on building an equine therapy school for children with special needs and works hard along side his normal horse training and breeding program. He and Riley have settled into a softer, quieter, kind of family life, but that doesn’t stop them using the barn with the door to the fullest!
But the lull comes before the storm.
Riley and his new assistant travel to Laredo, and across the border into Nuevo Leรณn as part of an exploratory team and things very quickly go to hell. Riley is caught in some serious Cartel problems and suddenly everything Jack holds dear is threatened.
Add in Vaughn and Darren’s story, revisiting Robbie, Eli, Liam and Marcus, alongside Sean and Eden and the wedding that never was, and this story promises you everything you want from a Texas series book.
Excerptย
As Jack could have predicted, another cowboy soon appeared at their side.
โJesus Christ,โ Liam cursed and joined them in the stable. Without words, Robbie gave him a beer, and Liam downed half of the bottle in long swallows. Only then did he talk. โTell me again where Marcus gets all his damn energy?โ
Jack shrugged. โSame place as Riley and Eli, it seems.โ
โCowboys shouldnโt be indoors,โ Liam pointed out. โAinโt natural.โ
โItโs not natural,โ Robbie corrected.
โThatโs what I said,โ Liam agreed.
Jack glanced over at the latest addition to the D. Liam was still looking a bit on the thin side, and he had perpetual worry written into his expression. Didnโt matter that he had a boyfriend and that he and Marcus were close. He hadnโt truly found his peace yet and still held the anxiety from the attack in the barn heavy on his shoulders.
It didnโt help that the mail between Christmas and New Yearโs had held a letter with a court appearance date. Twenty-sixth of January was the day Liam would be facing his attacker. Didnโt matter that Yuri Fensin had admitted his part in the attack, this was wider than that. Liam had passed enough evidence to have Hank Castille in the dock as well for the abuse Liam had suffered at the manโs hand when he was younger. A lot hinged on Liamโs testimony and that of a couple other witnesses, all boys as young as Liam or younger.
So yeah, the weight of it was on Liam, and he looked tired. He was still working long days, putting in his hours, making a home with Marcus in the apartment over the barn. Of the three of them standing there, he was the one who didnโt need to be in a place where people danced and expected a body to be smiling all the time. He needed something else.
โLiam,โ Marcus said from the door. Jack sighed inwardly. His quiet place was getting busier than the party. โYou okay?โ
Liam turned to face Marcus, and Jack couldnโt help but see the shine of emotion in Liamโs eyes or the serious expression on Marcusโs face.
โThinking Liam and you should have your own New Yearโs,โ Robbie suggested.
Marcus nodded and held out a hand that Liam took. โIs that okay, Jack?โ
Jack frowned. What did it have to do with him? Never mind Marcus was looking for his permission and Liam really needed the support. โGet off before Riley catches you,โ he joked. Liam and Marcus left quickly. Now there was only the two of them leftโand Jackโs five minutes were up.
โKeep my fence warm,โ he muttered. After knocking shoulders with Robbie, he went indoors and into the chaos that was a family celebration. Heโd done worse. Once heโd spent fourteen hours with a pregnant mare in distress. He could do this.
