Cowboys, Coffee, and Love

Thomas Lexington is openly gay, confident, and the proud owner of The Coffee Corral. He’s always dreamed of opening his own gourmet coffeehouse in his small hometown of Albin, Colorado, and now that dream is a reality. Opening day is a huge success, and even the town penny-pinchers seem to love the new coffeehouse.

Asher Jones is a ruggedly handsome cowboy who wanders into Thomas’s coffeehouse on opening day. He usually gets his coffee at a local gas station, but his usual haunt is closed for renovations. The minute Asher and Thomas lay eyes on each other, there’s an immediate spark. One huge problem—Asher isn’t out of the closet.

Despite their immediate attraction, Thomas is wary of getting too close to Asher. He’s been hurt many times before by men who use him but refuse to be with him openly. Thomas refuses to ever go back to being someone’s dirty secret. But the two men share a natural, easy friendship that brings them closer and closer.

As their friendship grows, so does their undeniable chemistry. The two men try to keep things platonic, but when Asher tells Thomas he’s willing to come out after all, the men move beyond a platonic relationship. Thomas thinks he’s finally found a man who will love him openly—but then Asher suddenly backs out of his promise.

The Cowboy and the Barista is a 70,000 word story based on a novella written in 2014. The story has been completely rewritten and expanded into a full-length novel.

GRL 2024

Location: Olathe, Kansas
Retreat Dates: September 4-7

Sadly, I can’t make GRL in 2024

**This has absolutely nothing to do with the location, by the way. I believe we should support our LGBTQ peeps in red states, and I’d be there if I could be.**

But I hope to be there in 2025. I love GRL!
