About this ebook
Gabriel Luz left town ten years ago to keep his family from killing the person he loves most in all the world. Now that his family’s left town and Gabe is honorably discharged from the Marines, he heads back to Ruidoso, the last place he was happy. He’s learning to live with his PTSD and the fact that he can never forget the boy who meant more than the world to him.
Martin Klein used to be a nerdy high schooler who wanted to move far away from Ruidoso and never look back. He expected to run off to California with his best friend and high school sweetheart Gabriel, but the day after graduation Gabe left with a few cruel words, never to be heard from again. Martin’s world crumbled, but since then he’s built his own salon in the heart of downtown and become an important member of the Demon Dogs Search and Rescue team. There’s just a part of his heart he can’t regrow.
When Gabe walks into a salon to get his hair cut, he can hardly believe that it’s Martin he locks eyes with. Fate has given them a second chance at love. Are they brave enough to take it?

As if Martin didn’t know Will was checking up on him. Martin had a family in town, they were nice enough but were tolerant as long as Martin didn’t bring of his gay shit
home with him. Will acted as a kind of surrogate father for him, which Will covered up by coming in to get his hair trimmed every week. It was ridiculous, Martin ran a salon in downtown Ruidoso, not a barbershop, but Martin wouldn’t have turned the big guy away for anything.
Though he might start if they were going to discuss the weather. It’s amazing, June here is perfect and the town is packed with tourists. I have my whole afternoon booked.
Martin turned on the clippers, which made his massive dog, a tan Cane Corso named Hugs, kick a back leg. Hugs had crashed out on his bed in the corner, laying on his back with all four paws in the air. Will’s Cane Corso, Trouble, sat at military attention near the door. Both dogs had been rescued out of the trunk of a car that’d crashed. The driver had died and the puppies had no chips and nowhere to go. Hugs had been in a sorry state when Martin had gotten him, one of his fresh cropped
