Sexy, gutsy and intoxicating, these tales tell of the pleasures of dancing the two-step at the Stockgrowers’ Ball, the pity of stalking beautiful beats and, of course sex, love and loss.
This stinging-fresh collection opens up new worlds – of high deserts and Alaskan tundra, of perilous white water, the frozen rockies and of ‘cowboys’ and strong women. These women – part daredevil, part philosopher – know they should know better, but they don’t; they wrestle within themselves, with danger and above all with their men whose bodies speak volumes, but whose emotions are not so communicative.
