Chapter One

Gabe
Stone rode his horse along the fence. It was a beautiful July day, the sun beat
down on his shoulders, and the rays felt good on his bare arms. His Stetson
shaded his eyes and kept his face from the sun, and the tall grass whished as
the horse walked
through it. Daffodils bloomed in
butter yellow, but his mind wasn’t on the fence or the beautiful terrain of his
ranch. It was on little Emma Conner. She used to be the little girl with a long
blonde ponytail and freckles sprinkled across her pert nose. No
w she was a tall, beautiful woman who still wore her hair
in a ponytail, but the freckles had faded with just a few stubborn ones
remaining across the bridge of her cute nose. When the trouble surrounding
Becca
Daniels broke, Gabe had sat with
Emma to comf
ort her. She’d wrapped her arms around
him and clung to him like it was all happening to her. His future sister in-law
had been abducted by Steve Harris, a man obsessed with her. He and his
brothers, Jake and Wyatt, went after them, and brought
Becca
home.
In the end, Wyatt had no choice but to kill the man to protect
Becca
.

That was
back in May and now two months later, Gabe still couldn’t get Emma out of his
mind. He knew he’d always felt something for her, since every time he walked
into the feed store a
nd she was there, his heart
slammed into his ribs. Her father owned the store and Emma would work there
when there was a need for help. Gabe had avoided her as much as he could
because Emma was a forever kind of woman, and Gabe…well Gabe certainly wasn’t i
nto forever. One-night stands, definitely, but no way was
he into forever. He was only thirty-four and had plenty of time to enjoy life
before he had to settle down.

He
pulled the reins to stop Dandy and glanced behind him. Damn it! So lost in his
thoughts
about Emma, he had no idea if the fence he
just passed needed any repairs or not. He turned the horse around and rode back
along the fence. He swore aloud when he saw a wire down. Fool that he was he’d
missed it. He dismounted and got his tools and leathe
r
gloves out of the saddlebag. By the time he was done, his T-shirt was soaked
with sweat. Gabe took his hat off, ran his fingers through his thick black
hair, and then resettled the hat. He used a handkerchief to wipe moisture from
his brow and he could f
eel sweat trickling between
his shoulder blades and down along his spine. The day was already a scorcher.

Gabe’s
ranch sat between those belonging to his brothers. They each took turns
checking the fence which separated their properties. Gabe just happened
to get the hottest damned day yet. He removed his shirt
and wiped his chest with it. What he needed was a nice long shower. A cold one
would feel good about now and not just because of the weather. Thoughts of Emma
had him hard and hurting daily since May
when he’d
actually felt that hot little body next to his. He stuffed the now soiled shirt
into his saddlebag and mounted his horse. Spurring Dandy on, he took off at
full speed but it didn’t help. Emma’s face rose in front of him. Those
beautiful blue eye
s seemed to sparkle every time he
looked into them. He’d hoped his being there for comfort might help her open up
to him, but she still shied away from him. It was somewhat a blessing he didn’t
see her as much now, since
Becca
opened her bed and breakfast
and Emma worked there as a cook. It used to be Gabe dreaded
going into the feed store for fear of seeing her there, but now he feared he
wouldn’t see her.
