Sometimes it takes finding an opposite to show us the beauty within ourselves. When security consultant and ex-mercenary, Gabrielo &‘Snake' Barbas, thwarts an attack of one of his co-workers, Riley Banks, he takes it upon himself to keep the smaller man safe. His job is made harder when he discovers the attacker is actually Riley's ex-boyfriend, a ruthless man from a very wealthy and powerful family. After a night of passion, Snake decides to take Riley far away from Richmond, Virginia to a town in Wyoming for the annual Cattle Valley Days celebration. He should have known that sex with Riley wouldn't be enough, but he feels he has nothing else to give such a nice guy. Riley is the sexiest man Snake's ever taken to his bed despite Riley's claim otherwise. Riley knows he's average-looking at best, so why does Snake continue to flatter him? It's obvious he's not going to kick Snake out of bed, even after Snake informs him that sex is all he has to give. Why does Snake see him so differently than the rest of the world? While Riley is busy trying to figure out the man who touches him like no other has before, Snake is busy trying to protect him from a monster in a business suit.
