Bio

Gabbi Powell

Gabbi Powell has been a lover of romance since she first put pen to paper in the eighth grade to write her first romance.  She writes her novels while living in Beautiful British Columbia with her trusty ChinPoo dog a as companion.  She also writes gay romances as Gabbi Grey and contemporary dark erotic BDSM novels as Gabbi Black.

A Touch of Cowboy by Gabbi Powell

Avery Stinson’s work at Healing Horse Ranch has been her lifeline against loneliness, whether it’s the counselling she does, or training her rescue dog, Rex. Sure, she sometimes dreams of finding her special person, but if her work’s going to be her whole life, it’s at least valuable and fulfilling. She loves seeing their clients leave with more confidence and hope than they thought possible.

She really hopes Will Dupont, a new arrival seeing one of her colleagues, can have that kind of success because the man’s heartbreak is almost palpable. When they find themselves together at the Christmas party, Will opens up about his personal tragedy, and Avery’s drawn to the brave, quiet, stoic cowboy. He’s not her patient. Getting closer isn’t really against the rules. As day follows night and Will begins to heal, Avery begins to wonder, can they have a happily ever after this Christmas, or will the call of the wide-open range a thousand miles away prove too strong for Will to resist?

Exclusive Excerpt 

Will followed the tall therapist into an adorable room with bright-yellow walls, a desk with an ergonomic chair, as well as a couch with two stuffed chairs across from it.

Justin indicated Will should sit wherever he wanted.

Eyeing the dog, Will gazed around.

“Rex is allowed on the furniture. The rule is, he has to wait to be invited.” Justin chuckled. “Something tells me he didn’t earlier.”

Will returned the smile. “Uh, no. But I love enthusiasm.” He dropped onto the couch and patted his thigh.

Rex leapt up, turned twice, found the right spot, and settled with a sigh.

“That was easy.”

Justin sat in a plush chair facing him. “He’s an easy dog. Rescues can be tricky. He has weird habits. He cowers from some people—even those who clearly would never do him harm. That being said, he’s so good with kids. Avery mostly counsels adults, but Rex sometimes sneaks in with Denise when she’s helping a child.”

“You see a lot of kids up here?”

“Well, yeah. Kids have problems. Usually different problems than adults…although sometimes the same. Grief, mental illness, trauma…those are pretty universal.”

“It makes me sad to think of kids who face those things.”

“Did you have a sheltered childhood?”

Will cocked his head. “I don’t know if sheltered would be the right word. Although, I guess, yeah—if we’re talking about trauma, grief, and mental illness. I was well into my twenties before my grandparents passed. I lost my parents a few years later in a car crash. Three years later, my wife died.” He breathed deeply. “So, lots of grief—just all jammed into my adulthood.”
