*To be read AFTER volume 1 - "The Brokenhearted Necklace" Paul's backstory. If you don't know who 'Paul' is, then you haven't read 'The Brokenhearted Necklace'. Please go and do so now before reading this ;) With the death of his mother, 13-year-old Paul McNair is suddenly thrust into a hostile environment under the sole care of his abusive father. His only friend is Sophia, a young girl his own age who he soon learns is the victim of abuse herself. When Sophia's 16-year-old brother, Ivan, reveals a secret, forbidden interest in Paul and begins to coerce Paul into intimate acts, Paul is cast into confusion as what to feel. Ivan never hurts him and even displays affection for him, yet when around their fathers and the other adult men, he is critical of Paul. Sophia exhibits unexpected care for her abusive brother that Paul doesn't entirely understand until he learns that Ivan is as much of a victim as Sophia and Paul. *WARNING: Contains multiple forms of abuse that some readers may be sensitive to.

**PREQUEL TO "COWBOY UP (COWBOY GANGSTER SHORT STORY)"** Heff Wilder's world is shattered when he receives word that his sister and brother-in-law, Mandy and Frank Zayne, have died in a car accident. Since the death of their parents when Heff was ten, Heff and Mandy were each other's rocks. Now, at just twenty-one, Heff suddenly feels lost and alone. Things get worse when he learns of a special clause inserted into Mandy and Frank's will concerning their horse ranch: Heff must live on the property and run the ranch with Frank's younger brother, Garland-or the ranch will be turned over to the state to be auctioned off. Five years ago, Heff fled the ranch to get away from Garland Zayne. How could he go back now and live with the one man who had hurt him most? Garland Zayne is shocked-and infuriated-by the unexpected clause in his brother's will. Garland had busted his back right alongside Frank to build the ranch up from nothing-the ranch should have rightfully gone to him. Focusing on his anger and confusion over the ranch distracted him from the unbearable loss of his big brother and the woman who had loved him like a sister. An avoidable loss that he caused-at least, that's what he believes. And now, amidst his grief, guilt, and anguish, he is forced to confront a troubling, painful past as well-in Heff Wilder. Facing the young man after five years stirs up memories both good and bad, but mostly bad as he can't forget how he wronged the boy-then turned on him, causing Heff to flee his presence and never return to the ranch. Until now. Now, Heff and Garland must learn to work together or lose the ranch. But before that can happen, they must confront the past... and that one night that ruined everything.
