Cattle Valley: Vol 12

Hawk's Landing Born a man, Kit always felt cheated out of the life he was meant to live. Growing up in Arkansas, Kit was forced to hide behind the masculine clothes and haircuts favoured by the other boys in the small community. The minute Kit graduated high school, he pushed away the male way of life then reached for her dream of living as a woman. With newly augmented breasts, Kit arrives in Cattle Valley in hopes of gaining acceptance. Gabe ?Hawk? Hawkins is in search of more than a place to lay his head when he too comes to Cattle Valley. He?s on the hunt for his son. When he meets Kit at the local gym, he?s knocked sideways by her incredible body and big smile. It soon becomes clear that there?s more to Kit than meets the eye. Luckily for Hawk, he?s an equal opportunity lover and won?t let the sassy blonde push him away no matter what others say about him. People may not trust Hawk?s motives for being in town, but he hopes Kit will look past his mistakes to see the man he longs to be. Shooting Star Fleeing Hollywood from damaging and false tabloid reports, Brac Riesling hides out with his friends Kit and Hawk in Cattle Valley. Although he believes he?s simply evading intrusive paparazzi, danger lurks just around the corner. After years spent as a secret soldier for the United States government, new Cattle Valley deputy, Al Jessup believes shielding the television heartthrob from nosy reporters will be an easy assignment. Becoming infatuated with Brac isn?t part of the plan, and Jessup struggles to remain professional despite the temptation Brac provides. When Jessup gives in to his desire and Brac nearly pays for the moment of passion with his life, Jessup vows not to make the same mistake twice. He calls in a favour from the only man he trusts with Brac?s life, James ?Priest? Evans. Priest agrees to guard Brac at a secret location while Jessup searches for the unknown gunman. Jessup?s resolve to put a halt to the budding relationship with Brac is tested when he witnesses the easy-going relationship Brac and Priest have formed after only a few days.
