Stu Lawson had always lived in the small town of Occident. He'd been born a farmer, and he was more than happy to stay a farmer even when his dad decided it wasn't the life for him. He's been raising his daughter since the day she was born, and he's never regretted being a single dad, but Stu has a few secrets. Morgan Grant was born into a life he never wanted and had done everything he could to avoid. Staying drunk helps him forget and numbs the pain he can't bring himself to face. After a long night of drinking, he ends up dumped in a small town north of Sacramento without money, his phone, or a way to get back to the city he calls home. Stu's focus has always been his daughter, but he can't control his curiosity about the stranger who shows up in Occident alone in the middle of the night. He offers to help, even when he knows he shouldn't. Old feelings rise to the surface and he's helpless to ignore them, or Morgan. This stranger could be his chance at happiness, or his downfall. #singledad #gayromance #stranded #smalltownromance #secrets
