A Prairie Dog's Love Song

Ben Rivers always was a showman. He won awards in 4-H and rodeo competitions from the time he could walk, and he€s happiest in the spotlight. So when he got the chance to be a star€"in porn€"he took it. He still loves Montana and everything about being a cowboy, but when news of his alternate identity leaks out, he figures he€s lost the town€s goodwill forever. Clyde€s Corner would never accept an openly gay cowboy, even a hometown boy born and bred.

Joshua Braintree always had the notion that he and his best friend€s kid brother, Ben, would end up together. Ben€s always been a diehard cowboy, just like him: they need the land and its freedom as much as they need air. So when Joshua learns Ben moved away from their small Montana town to be a porn star in Vegas, he can hardly believe it. He€s determined to finally declare himself and bring Ben home.

Despite his longtime crush on Joshua, Ben won€t be as easy to tame as Joshua€s €œlost cause€ horses. It will take a lot of heart and holiday spirit for Joshua to convince Ben that even old prairie dogs can learn new tricks in the name of love.
