Thunder

By Hannah Morse

Saul Cobb used to think he’d sell insurance like his Pa and stay married to his wife forever while running with a local biker gang in Topeka, Kansas. When his sexuality turned his life upside down, he washed up in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where he found a new kind of family. He likes his bike, his dog Thunder, and the horses he takes care of. It shouldn’t matter that he still hasn’t quite figured himself out or found that special someone.

Leaving his home in England looking for a new start, jockey turned horse trainer Liam Woods is delighted to discover something he wasn’t looking for at the racetrack: a man with raven hair, brooding eyes, and a soul that begs to be his.

Saul might be all storm clouds to Liam’s sunshine, but when a real storm throws them together, they find out just how well-matched they are.

Thunder

Chapter 1

Saul Cobb rumbled down the curing, pine tree-lined road on his motorcycle, raising his hand in a wave as he passed an officer sitting in his patrol unit.

After Saul’s cup of coffee, the best part of the morning was driving to work on the back of his Harley. The officer, Diego, lifted a hand, but the delighted smile on his face was for Thunder, the massive Cane Corso dog that sat behind Saul on the bike, his front legs draped over Saul’s shoulders. It was part of the morning routine, the wave at a cop. He didn’t have to worry about being pulled over; Saul didn’t drive fast. There was no reason to get to work any earlier than he had to, which was still too damned early if you asked him. Who wanted to be at work by six in the morning?

He turned a corner, his big dog leaning with him, and straightened out. The road by the horse track in Ruidoso New Mexico was ridiculously broad, as if the town had expected traffic to multiply exponentially just because they had ponies running. He turned off the main road and puttered around the main building at the downs to the barns. The horses knew the sound of his motorcycle and many of the compact quarter horses that ran at the track stuck their heads over their stall doors and whinnied in greeting.

An easy warmth flowed through him
