Cole McKenna has been a rancher at Silver River since he was old enough to walk. He doesn’t mind the scars and bruises, but he’s starting to hate the feeling of being tied down, especially when the neighboring ranch is put up for sale. Raven Branch has always called to him and when a pretty young woman from the city arrives to take over he is determined not to let her ruin his favorite piece of land. Soon he has to wonder though. Is he keeping an eye on the ranch...or the woman?
Excerpt:
He
looked across at Darrell, who was keeping his face impassive. Emma
waited to resume the conversation until coffee and the cups to go
along with it had been distributed. Margie did a double take at Emma
sitting beside Cole, and her eyes sparkled with held-back questions.
Cole only shrugged. Margie might think they were cute together, but
forgiveness, if that was what was happening here, was only the start.
“So
we can start with a clean slate as far as I’m concerned,” she
said, fiddling with a few packs of sugar with a nervous gesture he
found surprisingly endearing.
“Sure,”
he answered as he poured five packs of sugar into his own coffee and
stirred it. “That works for me, I guess.” He wondered if she was
forgiving him because she liked him, or because she liked Marshall
and didn’t want a strained relationship with Marshall’s little
brother.
“So,”
Emma said, trying to be friendly and change gears on the
conversation. “What do you do?”
“What
do you mean?” Cole asked in confusion.
“Well,”
Emma hesitated slightly, as if searching for the right words.
“Darrell rides in the rodeos and Marshall runs the ranch. What do
you do?”
“Marshall
doesn’t run Silver River!” Cole wished his tone hadn’t been
quite so harsh when Emma practically flinched. “We all own the
ranch in equal shares.”
“Oh.”
Emma wrapped her hands around her coffee mug as if she was trying to
warm them up. “I didn’t know that.”
“Trust
me,” Cole said flatly. “I do just as much as anybody else on that
ranch.”
“More
than me,” Darrell offered, clearly trying to smooth the situation
over.
It
worked, just not in the way that he’d been going for. Emma took the
opportunity to change the subject.
“Is
the rodeo a lot of work?” Emma wondered.
Darrell
nodded.
“I
guess you have to do a lot of training too,” she went on.
Darrell
nodded again.
“So
you really don’t talk much, do you?”
Darrell
shrugged and Emma smiled at him.
“At
least you’ve got that going for you,” she said, turning back to
Cole and giving him a different sort of smile. It was almost shy and
one look at it sent his bad day to the back of his mind as nothing
more than a memory.
