Dangling High

"Some things are worse than death."

These are the words that continually haunt Ezra "Two Shots" Smith, a ruthless outlaw shaped by blood and hate beside the river.

Obsessed with revenge, Ezra is a man who takes from the powerful and answers only to himself. At least, that's the way it is until a twist of fate lands him helpless in the dirt, staring at the faintly haloed shadow of Alexander "Good Times" Davis.

A member of The Resistance, Alex is everything Ezra isn't: insightful, steady, patient, and discerning. He's the kind of man who isn't afraid of truth, enabling him to look past the hardened outlaw's reputation and into the helpless boy the vicious cowboy used to be. Recognizing the pain beneath the facade, Alex refuses to let Ezra hide behind it.

But Ezra knows better than most how dangerous vulnerability can be. With enemies from his past closing in, he's keenly aware that any sign of weakness could cost him everything.

With the powers that be threatening to bring him to his knees again, Ezra is forced to choose between the revenge that's kept him alive and the life Alexander dares him to believe in.

Dangling High is a queer anti-western MM romance about the necessity of tenderness, the cost of violence, and what it means to be truly free.
