Waiting for Ru (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798537178828)

Ruari Byrne may not have had an easy life, but now he's determined to live in the present, not his past. Trouble is, it's hard to be independent when you've no money and no qualifications. All Ru knows is horses, and when he finds out that his beloved Joni and Cookie are off to auction, his heart is in his throat. How can he protect them if he can't even look after himself?

Jasim bin Rajhi hadn't intended to buy two working mares; the horses in his rarefied life are expensive polo ponies, but there's something that intrigues him about the guileless young man who's so concerned for their welfare. They might be worlds apart in every way, but Jasim doesn't want this to be the last time he sees Ru. It can't be, because Ru might just be the one he's been waiting for.

Reunited at Jasim's polo grounds, the pair bond over lives lived in darkness and secrecy. But there's a truth about Jasim that should make Ru bolt like his beloved horses. Jasim knows he should let Ru go for his own safety, and yet it feels like happiness might be within their grasp. Can they overcome their pasts to trust in a future, or will Jasim's obligations forever have a hold on him?
