Head Above Water by Andrew Grey

Cowboy Hazard Wagoner is happy working on the H and L ranch. It’s a great place to live and it’s his home. Hazard will do nothing to jeopardize that, even if he has had his eye on the handsome oldest son, Bryce, for a long time.

Bryce Maverick has known he will take over the family ranch practically since the day he was born. Still, he longs for a life outside their small ranching community. But when his father becomes ill, responsibility and duty settle on his shoulders, and it doesn’t help that his younger brother isn’t pulling his weight. The one surprising bright spot is Hazard.
Bryce and Hazard seem to realize their attraction at the same time and Bryce needs the support. Taking over the ranch is hard enough, but a severe dry spell threatens to force him to sell his cattle early and could put the entire operation in jeopardy. Finding a new water supply is key. And it’s Hazard who makes a longshot effort that could change everything for the ranch, as well as any future they might have.
