The Fence Line

An Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy Widower, Second Chance M/M Farmer Romance

By: Ian Calebs

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two rival farmers. One fence line. A feud as old as the dirt they work.

Cole Evans is a man of tradition, dirt, and dust. The fourth-generation owner of Blackwood Farm, he’s holding onto his family’s legacy with a white-knuckled grip, shielding his heart and his land from a future he wants no part of. His only focus is preserving the past—a past that holds the ghost of his late wife and a way of life that’s disappearing.

Mateo “Teo” Garcia is a man of data, drones, and decimal points. He runs the hyper-modern Veridian Fields with cold, hard logic, building a fortress of efficiency to keep the chaos of his own grief at bay. To him, Cole is a stubborn relic, an obstacle to progress.

When the city council threatens to run a pipeline straight through both of their properties, these two sworn enemies are forced into a reluctant alliance. Their battle for the land becomes a war of spreadsheets versus stories, technology versus tradition.

But working late nights in a dusty barn, surrounded by old maps and new data, the line between them begins to blur. The animosity that once defined them sparks into a connection neither man expected—or is prepared to handle. It’s a passion born of shared struggle, a vulnerability they can only show each other.

As the fight for their farms intensifies and small-town gossip threatens to expose their secret, Cole and Teo must decide what they’re truly fighting for: the past they can’t let go of, or a future they’re terrified to build together.

The Fence Line is a heartfelt, steamy M/M romance about finding love after loss and discovering that the richest soil is the common ground you never expected to find. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and grumpy heroes who are secretly soft at heart.

This novel is a complete standalone with a guaranteed Happily Ever After (HEA).
