Cowboy Courage by Stormy Glenn is the fourth book in the Blaecleah Brothers series.

Neason Blaecleah knows that he is different from his brothers and is afraid that if they ever learn about his sexual needs they would hate him. Neason was raised to be big, strong and dominant, but what he is looking for is as man to dominate him. The night his brother Lachlan married Asa, he found the man he was looking for, Brody, but in the end, he left Neason without a backward glance. Neason has been looking for someone ever since, but all he has found is sadistic men who hurt him. After one brutal scene, Asa realizes how badly Neason was injured and calls his friend, Brody, to show Neason that he can get his needs met without the physical abuse. Brody can't forget that night, but is afraid that he wants a full time submissive and Neason might not want the same. Brody agrees to help, but he insists that he have total control, until he feels that Neason is ready to deal with the outside world. Neason is terrified about what his life will be like, but he never expected Brody to reenter it. Will Neason finally get his dream come true?

The Blaecleah family is beautiful in the way that they accept and love each other for who they are. Many parents turn away from their children if they are gay, but not the Blaecleahs. They love each child and the men they love without question, and will fight to keep them safe. I can't imagine many parents who would turn control of an injured child to anyone, but they knew it was best for Neason. It was fascinating to read how Brody seemed to know what Neason needed and was determined to help him regain his self-confidence. The way Neason picked up the pieces of his life and his determination to regain his independence was inspiring.
