Foggy Basin Series - M/M Small Town Romance

Ex-con turned barber Tyler Rockwell works in his mother’s beauty salon in small-town California. Every resident of Foggy Basin will happily remind Tyler they know the one thing he wants to put behind him.

Mosby Leslie left his old life behind after a tragedy, hiding in the mountains near Foggy Basin, where the fog rolled into the valley like clockwork. Committed to living alone in misery, Mosby fills his days with painting landscapes of the sleepy little village he can see from his front porch and having intense discussions with Barbara Bushy, his only friend.

One day while on a supply run, Mosby trips over a crumbling step in front of Shear Bliss Salon, hitting his head. Next thing he knows, a handsome young man is tending to his every need. The shorter, lean man’s smiles light up Mosby’s sullen world.

To stay in the sunshine of Tyler’s attention for just a little longer, Mosby pretends to have forgotten who he is and where he lives. What will the barber do when he finds out that under Mosby’s long hair and beard is a famous painter who people have been trying to find for over a year? When the fog clears, is there any way the two of them can find Shear Bliss together?

Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay? Well, better find your place. Sit back, relax, and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a stand-alone but why not stay and get to know us by reading them all.

I loaded the cart with tomatoes, carrots, corn on the cob, and other seasonal favorites. I’d taken an online canning course when I’d planted the garden last year, optimistically believing I’d be awash in fresh vegetables by the fall. That didn’t happen, but if I could secure some canning jars and lids, I could can some of the fresh produce I was stacking in my cart and put the jars in the root cellar to have over the winter. It was more homestead-ish than I wanted to be, but if I wanted veggies later in the fall, it was an option.

I gathered all the supplies I needed for a couple of months and went to the checkout. The place was relatively deserted, which suited me just fine.

The clerk, a tall, older man with a pinched face and a pointy nose glared at me. “You got money to pay for this before I start ringing it?”

Yes, it was a large order, but fuck him. I reached into my pocket to get my wallet and found it missing.

“Crap. I’ll be right back. I forgot my wallet in the truck.”

I hurried out of the store and across the alley, winding up in front of the salon. I glanced through the picture window and came to a screeching halt. Inside, standing at the register and talking to a woman with long hair was a gorgeous young man.

I stared at him for a moment. When he glanced up, he smiled, which made my heart pound. He was more beautiful than I’d first thought, and his smile…? Magnificent.

My face flushed at being caught gawking, but hell, I’d never seen such a striking creature. I turned to hurry away before he came after me with a broom, and I caught the toe of my sneaker on something, taking me down to the sidewalk with a—
