Chapter 21

“Curt, I’m glad you’re here,” Storm said. “There’s someone I want you to meet.”

As Curt took off his hat and threw it on the coat rack, he said, “Sorry I wasn’t here when you came in. I was out working fence along the north forty.”

“Curt, this is Sable Denis. She’s Saul’s sister from Boston. She came down here to help me out with our deal…if she hasn’t changed her mind.”

Curt nodded and smiled. “Hello, Sable. I’m glad to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Suddenly, Sable found herself surrounded by the biggest, dirtiest, rawest, and handsomest cowboys she’d ever seen in her life. She felt as if she was in a different country where everything was strange, even the language. Words she’d never heard before she would quickly learn the meaning of. She’d already learned that the women out here were almost as rugged as the men and knew if she stayed, she’d have to adapt. It would be tough, but it would definitely be worth it.
