Brighton McKenzie inherited one of the last pieces of farmland in suburban Baltimore. It has been in his family since Maryland was a colony, though it has been fallow for years. Selling it for development would be easy, but Brighton wants to honor his grandfather's wishes and work it again. Unfortunately, an accident left him relying on a cane, so he'll need help. Tanner Houghton used to work on a ranch in Montana until a vengeful ex got him fired because of his sexuality. He comes to Maryland at the invitation of his cousin and is thrilled to have a chance to get back to the kind of work he loves.
Brighton is instantly drawn to the intensely handsome and huge Tanner - he's everything Brighton likes in a man, though he holds back because Tanner is an employee, and because he can't understand why a man as virile as Tanner would be interested in him. But that isn't the worst of their problems. They have to face the machinations of Brighton's aunt, Tanner's ex suddenly wanting him back, and the need to find a way to make the farm financially viable before they lose Brighton's family legacy.

"A farm in the City and it works."
Brighton inherits his grandpa's farm. It is different from most farms as it is surrounded by a growing city. He knows nothing about farming and doesn't understand why his grandfather let it to him. His Aunt and her kids are angry and try to fight him every inch o the way. He has recently survived a bad wreck and has trouble walking. His lawyer recommends his nephew as a hired hand and Brighton interviews him. Tanner has a bad lisp and low self-image just being kicked off the ranch he had been working and shunned by his rich so-called boyfriend.
Once again Andrew Grey brings together two broken men and makes them whole. The story is sweet and sexy.
I listened to the audio version and love how Derrick McClain brings both of these men alive and kept me engaged in the story. I listened in one afternoon.

Thanks for the good review, Cat. The setting intrigues - I too have family history dating back to when Maryland was colony and have visited Baltimore many times. - Purple Reader,
