Jewel in the Rough: A Piedras Island Novella

by Elle Keaton

Overview

Sometimes things happen for a reason. Sometimes it's just Benny.

Benny witnesses a brutal murder forcing him to run as far as he can as fast as he can. In exchange for helping her brother with the family farm, an old friend offers him a place to hide.

Does it matter if the closest Benny has ever been to a farm is the petting zoo?

Ex-LA cop Teagan hates farming but it's that or disappoint the only family he has left. Instead of catching criminals, his days are now spent being harassed by his sister and bullied by the Indignant Gurls—the dairy cows who will make him or break him.

Opposites attract small-town gay romance, grumpy falls for happy, protective hero, murder.

Jewel in the Rough plays out on Piedras Island, where the Veiled Intentions and West Coast Forensics series are also set. While characters from my other books are mentioned Jewel in the Rough is a complete standalone.

26,000 words, previously available in YBBB giveaway.
