He went to a mirror and looked at himself. He didn’t look like much right now, but he had a head full of curly hair, stubble on his chin, and eyes that had seen a lot in his life. He wasn’t exactly a handsome dude, but he sure as hell wasn’t ugly. He’d had plenty of women willing to lay down for him if he’d wanted them to, but all his life he’d been looking for one special woman.

Storm had said he would do anything, so he would turn on what charm he had left, wiggle right in between them, and sweep her right off her sweet-smellin’ little feet. It wouldn’t be wrong, since Storm didn’t want her anyway.

But first, he had the town fathers to deal with.
