LOVE SOMEBODY LIKE YOU
Caribou Crossing #6
Susan Fox
Released Sept 29th,2015
Kensington: Zebra
With
its breathtaking terrain and welcoming people, the Western town of Caribou
Crossing is the perfect place for a heart to heal, and
for love to blossom once more…
Since the death of her husband three
years ago, young widow Sally Ryland has kept to herself and focused on her
struggling business, Ryland Riding. Folks assume she’s still grieving, because
Sally has never shared the truth about her abusive marriage, or the trust
issues that remain. But when a sexy rodeo rider from her past turns up for a
visit, he’s a reminder of the feisty woman she once was—and maybe still could
be…
Ben Traynor was always attracted to
Sally, but he didn’t move fast enough. Now what Sally needs is patience and
gentleness. With an injury keeping him from his next rodeo, Ben has the perfect
excuse to stick around and help with her chores—and her healing. And as Sally
finds the courage to face her demons and open her heart again, she’ll have to
decide if what she has with Ben is more than safety, gratitude, and short-term
passion, but a forever love…
“Fox knows how to strike just enough sway between sweet and bitter, homespun and steamy.” --Publishers Weekly
Idly,
he glanced at the write-up on the back of the menu. It said that the Gold Pan
had been open for ten years, and its name was in honor of the town’s history.
Caribou Crossing had its origins in the 1860s gold rush. When the gold ran out,
it became a ranching community.
Terry returned. “Just a couple more
minutes.”
“No rush.”
“It was such a tragedy,” she said,
returning to their earlier conversation, “Pete dying that way. So young, and
totally unexpected. Goes to show you never can tell, right?”
“That’s the truth.” He’d been riding
bucking broncs for more than fifteen years and the worst he’d done was break
some bones.
“It’s so sad, Sally out there all
alone with a broken heart. For a while, folks thought she was dating Dave
Cousins, though he denied it. But it seems he was telling the truth and they
only ever were friends. Guess she’s got no room in her heart for another man.”
Maybe that was the reason she hadn’t
been receptive to his flirting. Still, a woman had to move on at some point.
His grandma had learned that, after his grandpa died.
Terry turned to get Ben’s order. She
slipped take-out containers into a couple of string-handled paper bags with the
diner’s name and logo. Eyeing his sling, she asked, “You gonna be okay with
these, hon?”
“Sure. Thanks, Terry.” He paid,
leaving a good-sized tip.
“Hope to see you again.”
“Thanks, but I’m just passing
through.”
Unless Sally gave him a reason to
stay. Which, he had to admit, didn’t seem likely. Still, he’d always been an
optimist. Couldn’t survive long in the rodeo world if you weren’t.
