Moon Over Montana

Dear Author, This cowboy has two secrets: once a month during the full moon his body changes and he roams the foothills of his ranch as a beautiful wild beast...He also loves the only man that knows and keeps his secret. A fellow ranch hand who nurses and cares for him after his body is ravaged by the shifts...He can never reveal his love, because he fears losing his only friend. Please tell us his story and help him find love... Photo Description: A naked, burly cowboy rides a saddle on a rail fence. His head is thrown back, eyes closed, feet in the big Western stirrups, hands bracing him on the rail. His face is bearded, and shadowed by his black Stetson. His body is muscular, lightly furred, armband-tattooed and fully erect. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Hot Summer Days" event.
