a prairie dog’s love song (clyde’s corner #1)
Release date: June, 2021
Ben Rivers always was a showman. He won awards in 4-H and rodeo competitions from the time he could walk, and he’s happiest in the spotlight. So when he got the chance to be a star—in porn—he took it. He still loves Montana and everything about being a cowboy, but when news of his alternate identity leaks out, he figures he’s lost the town’s goodwill forever. Clyde’s Corner would never accept an openly gay cowboy, even a hometown boy born and bred.
Joshua Braintree always had the notion that he and his best friend’s kid brother, Ben, would end up together. Ben’s always been a diehard cowboy, just like him: they need the land and its freedom as much as they need air. So when Joshua learns Ben moved away from their small Montana town to be a porn star in Vegas, he can hardly believe it. He’s determined to finally declare himself and bring Ben home.
Despite his longtime crush on Joshua, Ben won’t be as easy to tame as Joshua’s “lost cause” horses. It will take a lot of heart and holiday spirit for Joshua to convince Ben that even old prairie dogs can learn new tricks in the name of love.

“It is a true romantic tale with just enough angst and steam to make it sigh worthy, so when you finish, you just sigh contentedly.” - Mrs. Condit Reads
"It was beautifully written and thought out. The men were easy to understand. I fell in love with Joshua.” - Gaylisted
“I LOVED this story. It had humor, romance, two wonderful cowboys, quirky sidekicks, cowboys, Stetsons, cowboys, townies who bring up the historical accuracy of homosexuality among cowboys, horses, oh, and did I mention cowboys?” Crystal's Many Reviews

His future was set until a thief stole his heart.
All of Clyde’s Corner, Montana, knows local dandy Chris Ramsey will marry Trix Stubben, young widow and heir to the richest ranch in the area. But one woman isn’t too keen on the idea. Mabe Crassen wants to get her hands on that ranch, so she sets her older son to court Trix, and her younger son, Jeremy, to distract Chris and lure him astray.
Jeremy Crassen thinks his mother’s scheme is crazy. But he wants desperately to go off to college, which Mabe will agree to—if he seduces Chris. How will shy, virginal, secretly gay Jeremy attract Chris, who seems determined to do the right thing and marry Trix? Jeremy can’t compete with a rich female widow. Or can he?
What people are saying…
“The story has a slightly dramatic ending and a sweet HEA.I couldn't stop rooting for all of the characters from start to finish. It was a little sweet, a lot of enchanting writing and solid story all around. Sweet, sexy with a realistic build to the romance. Ah, Eli Easton done right.” - Boy Meets Boy 5 star review by SheReadsAlot
“LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!! I was laughing and crying and felt frustration, loss and helplessness, as well as hope and determination, and it was all wrapped up in a sweet Eli Easton story. Win!!” - Boy Meets Boy 5 star review
“All these threads and relationships combine to make a wonderful story that is much more than Chris and Jeremy’s romance. Caught between occasional laughter, amusement, and the odd tear, I was delighted to get to know these people and relieved about the way it all worked out in the end.” - Rainbow Book Reviews
“The story was fairly complex, with two individual romances building and the stories and characters interacting and being woven closely together. Add in the roles played by Ben and Joshua, a past secret revealed, Trix’s little girl falling in love with Eric, Jeremy’s need to leave town in order to go to college, and the final catastrophes which brought both romances to a head, and I was very happy to read and review this one. I won’t even mention the Epilogue which brought tears to my eyes, though it did! Don’t worry—they were happy tears.” -- Hearts on Fire 5 star review

Forgiving yourself is the first step toward finding true love.
Henry Atkins is determined to turn around his no-good, sorry life and prove to the residents of Clyde’s Corner that he’s not the town bad boy anymore. If going to church every Sunday with the Ladies Society is what it takes to polish his reputation, he’s all in. But when every secret fantasy in his head walks into the stables at Muddy River Ranch, the straight and narrow path he’s on takes a wild detour. It never felt so good to be so bad.
Micah has been one of the biggest porn stars in the world for five years, but he’s burned out. His body won’t cooperate to film even one more scene. A month’s vacation with his old friend Ben in Clyde’s Corner, Montana is just what his jaded heart needs. He wants rest, fresh air, and to not be recognized by a living soul. He sure as hell isn’t looking for a fling, and he wants nothing to do with Henry, the fanboy who works at Ben’s ranch.
The two men are both seeking a fresh start, an escape from the demons of their past. Fly fishing lessons on the river uncover the surprising number of things they have in common and forms a heartfelt bond that might save their weary souls. Only Micah’s past isn’t through with him yet.

“I always enjoy Eli’s well-written stories and the connection she builds between her main characters. One Trick Pony is a lovely romance and redemption story combined. It didn’t follow the route I was expecting and I thoroughly enjoyed the angsty adventure towards the end.” - Lily G. Blunt, author
