By Its Cover by J. D. Light

Henley is intimidated by the gorgeous older man who comes into the feed store where he works with his friends. From all accounts Cutter is a good, hard working, nice man, and Henley believes every word. Unfortunately, he also believes that given the chance, Henley will do something to completely humiliate himself in front of Cutter, and his anxiety makes the idea of something like that completely unbearable. He’d rather just hide every time he comes in.
Cutter has a bit of a think for the cute redhead that hides from him every time he comes into the feed store… and also happens to be his nephew’s best friend. When Henley’s truck breaks down on the way home, Cutter is the one that happens on him. He knows Henley is embarrassed by his inability to focus on something as simple as his address when he’s stressed, but Cutter can’t help but be captivated by him. Even to the point of sticking his nose in where it probably doesn’t belong.
Henley’s life isn’t what Cutter expected, and Cutter isn’t at all what Henley expected, and when things start getting a little dangerous for Henley at home, Cutter makes a proposal Henley knows he’d be an idiot to pass up.
Marry Cutter, so he can save his little sister from his insane aunt and unstable grandfather? Enter into a fake relationship with a man he respects immensely… and is incredibly attracted to? What’s the catch? But maybe the catch comes at the end when he no longer has a good excuse to live with the man he’s falling in love with. Maybe the catch is that he’s falling in love.
