Sexy gay stories with a country twang. Something about the country brings out the best - and the sexiest - in a man, and country boys are a special breed.

Gay pioneers enjoy rural living and loving. Lonesome queers meet for moonlight trysts in the cornfields.

Bahama Breeze , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
Anna Fortune is a government intelligence analyst who longs for tropical sunsets, early morning beach walks, and a man bold enough to steal her heart. Sonny Cay is a large, lumbering toilet paper salesman with a terminal disease, unpaid medical bills and the haunting memory of a girl he lost years ago. She knows the location of terrorist cells, corrupt politicians and that no man can be trusted to keep his word, wedding date or promise to love forever. He knows life is for the taking, love for the making and both end all too soon. So when Anna is ordered to protect a presidential candidate polling in the single digits on a fund-raising junket in the Bahamas, both get a second chance at true love. He came because he loved her, because all those years ago, she'd stirred him the way no woman ever had. She was his Mt. Everest, the pinnacle of his small world. His head told him to run; his heart made him stay. Now only the gale force winds of a "Bahama Breeze" can cool the white-hot embers of old flames erupting. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and twang the strings of your heart. If you enjoy the Bahamas and sailing the Windex waters of the Abacos and Exumas, you'll love Bahama Breeze. ungekürzt.
