In the
final book of the Never Too Early series, cowboys Jake and Tor and firefighters
Chance and Tucker have more on their plates than they bargained for. What
started out as friendship has developed into strong feelings, and the couples
continue to grow and learn about each other. However, adding two and two is
more than a simple math problem. Words and emotions can be a dangerous mix, as
the four men discover, and jealousy and miscommunication threaten what they've
built together.
When two
of the four unexpectedly connect, it sends all of them reeling. Pride is bruised
and feelings are wounded, although they try desperately to hold themselves
together in order to navigate this new territory. The physical distance between
them all is both a blessing and a curse. When one of them reveals something
that can't be taken back, it threatens the relationships of all four men. How
do two separate couples blend themselves to become one unit? The doubts and
fears threaten to overwhelm them all, and no one will emerge unscathed.

Excerpt:
Chance was quiet for several minutes. A woodpecker
in the front yard tree gave its high-pitched tweeting call before busily
getting back to work.
"I definitely was not prepared," he
finally said. "And I know Tuck wasn't. I'll have to really sit and talk
with him to see what he thinks. I can't decide if us leaving today is a good
idea or a shitty one."
"I'll miss you either way," Jake said.
"I don't know Tucker well enough to know how long it takes him to think
things through, and he might be uncomfortable being here. Which would suck. But
you guys leaving and not being here to sort it all out sucks, too."
"There isn't much of a choice," Chance
sighed. "Our flight is at two. If I didn't have to attend a meeting at
headquarters tomorrow, I'd try and change it. But we -- well, at least I --
need to get home."
"I know." The distance sucked, and the
fact that everyone had responsibilities they couldn't shake off was both a good
thing and a bad thing. It made for good people, but it made it difficult to
handle issues as they came up. "Maybe the four of us can make this morning
a good one, and everyone will feel better by the time you leave. Even if things
aren't completely settled, maybe they'll be better."
"It'll be better right now if you kiss me like
you mean it."
Jake smiled and set his coffee mug aside. "Like
I mean it?" He touched Chance's cheek and kissed his mouth softly.
"More?"
"More." Chance smiled against Jake's lips
and kept his eyes closed.
Jake gave him more, the smiles fading as the kisses
deepened and Chance's mug was put down as well. They turned to each other, and
Jake would have happily let his coffee go cold if he could stay right where he
was for an hour or so.
Chance didn't seem inclined to go anywhere, either.
He put both hands on Jake's face and held him gently as he pressed light kisses
to Jake's forehead, cheeks, and bridge of his nose before returning to Jake's
mouth with a sweep of his tongue and a slight nip. "I'll miss you,"
he murmured into Jake's ear, then sucked Jake's earlobe into his mouth for a
split second.
"One of these days I'll ask you not to
go," Jake whispered back. "Someday we'll stay together." Jake
had no idea how that would work, but he knew that he wanted it.
Chance pulled back and looked at him, eyes soft.
"Maybe someday we'll work it out."
Jake nodded and kissed him again. He was about to
say something even more honest and probably embarrassing when the door opened
and Tor said, "So, you two don't need more coffee, then?"
Meet the authors:
Tory Temple:
I live in
southern California, the land of no seasons. (Is wind a season?) I live with
three dogs, two cats, and some tortoises. I'm married to a firefighter, which
is great in the sense that some nights I get the TV all to myself, but not so
great in the sense that some nights I have to figure out what to do when the
washer starts leaking. (Or when there's a bat in the house, which is a thing
that happened when he was working.)
Most of my books
are centered around the firehouse. When you spend a lot of time around firemen,
you write what you know! And what's hotter than a fireman?
Two firemen.
Chris Owen:
I am a writer of
gay romances, a lover of dramatic TV and a fan of many things which are bad for
me. I don't cook, I do read, I pretend to garden, and I take care of my pets.
One of my favorite things is a clean desk; another is a messy desk.
