Cowboy (The Mathesons #2)

In the most unlikely of places, a party in Manhattan, Tate found his cowboy, the hero of his dreams—at least it was a handsome man dressed up as a cowboy. Unfortunately, Tate’s lasso failed, the cowboy escaped, and he found out that forever would require a second chance.

Tate, the second son of the large Matheson clan, moved to New York City from his native Los Angeles to head up the East Coast branch of the family business Matheson and Greene. A fan of cowboys from his early childhood, Tate fell hard when he saw a vision out of his dreams clad in Western shirt, hat, boots and tight-fitting jeans. It was infatuation at first sight. Soon it became the perfect relationship until the Matheson family disease interfered.

Simon, the target of Tate’s affections, grew up in Manhattan, the adopted son of two moms, a successful sculptor and an art history professor. He found it easy to fall in love with the tall, broad-shouldered, muscular Tate. They were a perfect match from their preferences in food to the hot times together in bed. Unfortunately, poor communication was the frayed rope binding them together that eventually broke.

Eighteen months after the breakup, Tate’s older brother, Mason, intervenes with a plan to hire Simon and his interior design talents to spruce up the new New York offices of Matheson and Greene. The fire is soon lit again, but the old complications and a new one with deep pockets threaten to ruin Tate and Simon’s second chance.

Cowboy is a 57,000-word gay romance with second chance themes and steamy scenes. It is the second book in the series The Mathesons and can be read as a standalone story but is best as a follow-up to First . There are no cliffhangers, and the story includes a guaranteed happy ending.
