One last chance.
These are their stories . . .
Excerpt
Three:
A familiar aroma wafted up from the river, a combination of
humus, plant material, microscopic plankton, and a touch of fish. Unable to
stop the smile slowly stretching across her face, she untied her sneakers,
rolled up her jeans, and slipped into the icy water. She immediately gasped and
felt her smile deepen to a grin. Remaining in the soothing current for a long
time, she absorbed her surroundings as trout darted in and around the submerged
rocks to grab their plankton lunch.
A horse suddenly whickered behind her, followed by the
telltale creak of a saddle. Too close for comfort. The back of her neck
prickled. Ankle deep in the water, she couldn’t make a decent sprint for the
car, and Kellen regretted her impulse to visit this deserted stretch of
riverbank.
Easing around, she spied the towering silhouette of a
powerfully built man astride a huge black stallion no more than ten yards away.
The rider’s face lay shadowed beneath a wide-brimmed Stetson. The cowboy made
an impressive and, at this moment, intimidating sight—a throwback from the
frontier days of the Wild West.
The horse whickered again and sidestepped away from the edge
of the embankment, forcing the cowboy to twist around to keep her in sight. She
could feel his dark eyes scanning every inch of her. The intensity in his gaze
raised goose bumps on her arms, and a tiny shiver edged up her spine. Trapped
here along the edge of the river, she felt vulnerable yet strangely unafraid.
Would he come any closer?
A horn blared up on the highway, and she jumped with a yelp.
The big horse reared at the sound of her cry, and Kellen caught a brief glimpse
of the cowboy’s dark eyes, eyes that could stare right through to a girl’s
soul. She scrunched her own eyes shut and forced herself to breathe. When she
opened them, the rider was gone. Had she imagined him? Another mild shiver
rifled up her spine. No, the fearsome rider was definitely real.
