This is a free piece of 4,900 words written for Samantha Derr. She bid on my auction listing for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Auction hosted by Piper Vaughn.

She specified what she wanted and I did my best to accommodate. I hope you all enjoy it. It’ll be available to the public on February 26, 2013.

BLURB:

The heart wants what it wants.

Austin and Loren have been together for sixteen years and own a small cattle ranch but something is missing. Their love is playful, youthful, and fun, but they know there’s more for them. What that more is they don’t know. Talk of adding someone else interests the couple but no one has the spark they crave.

Hugh is a friend of Austin’s son and needs a place to go and a job. His own parent’s have disowned him and no one will talk to him after what he’s done. Calling his friend’s dad is a last resort but what other choice does he have?

What Hugh finds he doesn’t expect but maybe, just maybe, he is worth something after all.
