Saddle Up and Ride — Carol Lynne

Reining in the Past - Book 1 in the Saddle Up and Ride series.
When Ray Justice receives a phone call that his father has died, he's shocked. As far as he knew, his father passed away twenty-three years earlier. Adding to the confusion, he finds that he's inherited a large cattle ranch in Montana. Alfred Deacon came to the J Bar Ranch as a broken cowboy in search of acceptance and honest work. What he found was a best friend and a group of cowboys he'd do anything for. When Ray walks into his life, Deacon is torn between loyalties to his dead friend and desire so strong it makes him weak. Ray comes face-to-face with a past he didn't know he had and a man he didn't know he needed.

Bareback Cowboy - Book 2 in the Saddle Up and Ride series.
Ethan Griggs is quite happy living on Justice River Ranch. He spends his days as head wrangler, tending to the horses he loves and the guests he's learned to tolerate. When Bridger Collins arrives at the ranch, Griggs' world is turned upside down. Despite his usual hands-off policy with the guests, he's immediately drawn to the younger man. Bridger thrives on the cowboy way of life. The son of one of the richest men in the country, Bridger would rather fix a fence than sit behind a desk counting his money. The sexual chemistry he seems to share with Griggs is simply icing on the cake. With his week-long stay coming to a close, Bridger is forced to choose between the life he wants with Griggs and the life planned for him since birth.
