Quiet but lonely Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk to keep party-boy Lucas.
Wealthy, attractive Lucas Reika treats life like a party, moving from bar to bar and man to man. Thumbing his nose at his restaurateur father's demand that he earn his keep, Lucas instead seduces a valued employee in the kitchen of their flagship restaurant, earning himself an ultimatum: lose access to his father's money or stay in the middle of nowhere with a man he has secretly lusted over from afar.
Quiet, hard-working Jared McFarland loves his farm on the outskirts of Hope, Arizona, but he aches to have someone to come home to at the end of the day. Jared agrees to take in his longtime crush as a favor. But when Lucas invades his heart in addition to his space, Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk and figure out if he can offer Lucas enough to keep him after his father's punishment is over.

Excerpt
Full ExcerptChapter 1
"Jared, it's me."
Jared McFarland sighed and moved his gaze away from the jumbled numbers on the screen to the answering machine on the other side of his desk.
"I know you're there. Pick up the phone."
Susan couldn't know he was there. She lived in Phoenix, and he lived a hundred twenty-five miles west in Hope, Arizona.
"The reason I know you're there is you never leave your property and it's nine o'clock at night, which means there's not enough light for you to be working outside."
Susan's ability to read his mind terrified him.
"Plus, I know you're on your computer."
Lucky guess.
"And the reason I know you're on your computer is last time I visited, I uploaded a program that tracks everything you do on there."
Jared froze, thinking through the ramifications of that claim.
After a pause, Susan continued. "Do we need to…
Reviews
It is a sweet love story between a damaged man and a spoiled rotten brat.
Cardeno C is quickly becoming one of my favourite m/m romance authors, especially for a quick, sweet romance....What I loved was how Jared and Lucas circled around each other, neither knowing that they were the other ones crush. I loved that Jared would not put up with any of Lucas' spoilt antics, and tells him so right up front. Rawwwr that's hot! And you just know that when these two get their act together it is going to be hot and explosive. And boooom it sure is. ...McFarland's Farm was a great introduction to a new series of novellas, and I will definitely be checking out more as they are released!
A touch of tension, a dash of discord, a steady stream of sizzle and steam, and some off the charts chemistry, makes this highly entertaining and another winner for me.
It was very romantic and you see the journey of Lucas finding in himself who he truly wants to be. In such a short story I was extremely surprised. I usually find that shorts don't give me enough story and feel rushed but this was not the case with this book, it was romantic heartfelt and genuine. It felt as if the book was written from the heart.
