Round Up
What if you were lonely and desperate for romance, and you met a man you found breathtakingly attractive? You reached out, only he rebuffed you. Not once, but again and again. Would you just give up and walk away?
Leo didn’t. He found life on an isolated stud ranch in 1915 Idaho lonely, even surrounded by friends, family, and hired hands. Sleeping alone felt unnatural. He longed to make love regularly again, as he used to with Sean. Leo opened his heart to his handsome neighboring rancher, Albert. He offered Albert an easy friendship and a sympathetic ear. He listened quietly as Albert shared the story of his horrifically traumatic childhood in northern Mexico. Little by little, Leo discovered why Albert held himself aloof from physical attachments, from intimacy, even from affection.
Can Leo’s patience win through Albert’s cold barriers? Will he ever thaw Albert’s heart?
To find out, read about Leo’s trials, tribulations, and perseverance today

About the author
Earle Jay Goodman
19 books5 followersBorn in Murtaugh, Idaho, Earle grew up on the stories of his great-great-grandparents, some of the very first pioneers and settlers of the Intermountain West in the 1850s. A few years ago, Earle felt inspired to tell some of his ancestors' stories. He didn't want to write a history or biography, so he began working on a historically correct fictional gay romance set back in the 1910s - which grew into the 1,562-page Discreet Trilogy.
Earle loves reading a good story and is a sucker for romance novels. His favorite genres often have a regular guy struggling to overcome adversity who somehow manages to find love and success in the end.
Earle lived most of his adult life in Manhattan and the Hamptons before customers took him to Florida in 1997. He has been in a loving relationship with his life partner and business partner, Jimmy, since 1979. They married in 2009 on their thirtieth anniversary. They still live together – enjoying their work and sharing life.

Great trilogy and I hated it to end. I wanted much more of Leo and Albert and the group of people had surrounds himself with. The stories were realistic and interesting and it moved at a brisk pace. Loved it and recommend it to anyone looking for a great book written by a man from a man’s point of view.
