Trace's Trouble
by Lexi Post
Cowboy Trace Williams thought he had trouble when his wife
served him with divorce papers, forcing him to move to his cousin’s horse
rescue ranch. But that was nothing compared to handling the female squatter
he’s supposed to evict from Last Chance Ranch. Though she’s a crack shot and
has no use for politeness or subtlety,
her ability to communicate with animals has him seeking her out on behalf of
the ranch…and himself.
Whisper Adams lives off the grid. She cares for her invalid
uncle and watches over the wildlife that finds her. The animals are more
trustworthy than the people she’s encountered. So when a hard-bodied, easy
going cowboy arrives at her trailer and causes her heart to race, she’s anxious
for him to leave, until he asks for her help at the ranch.
Since they end up together more often than she prefers,
Whisper doesn’t deny her attraction to Trace, who introduces her to new
experiences, from riding horses to an erotic night in bed. But mixing with
people, any people, opens her to new threats. This relationship might cost
Trace his heart, but it could very well cost Whisper her life.

When the
cowboy closed the door, she turned on him, a smirk curling her lip. “So, did
you find out everything you came up here for?”
The man
studied her, his eyes hidden by the shadow of his hat. “Yes I did, thank you.”
Huh?
“Good. Now you can go.”
He cocked
his head. “I would think with no one around for miles you wouldn’t mind a
little company for a change.”
“Nope.” At
least not his. He had her stomach in knots and she didn’t like it. “Not real
partial to people. Animals are much better company.”
Trace
laughed at her statement, sending a pleasant sensation over her body, like the
sprinkle of a light rain.
“I have to
admit to having that thought a time or two, especially in the ranch house. But
the barn can be peaceful, even soothing. I like listening to the sound of a
horse munching on dinner while another chuffs and moves around in the
shavings.” He looked off in the distance as if seeing every detail. “As dusk
comes on, you can hear the crickets, and the desert mice scampering back into
their nests.” His gaze locked with hers. “Nature is more straightforward than
man.”
Feeling a
sense of kinship with him at his description, it took her a moment to catch the
undertone of bitterness in his final statement. Her mind eased as she sensed he
might understand. “Yeah, I get that. A horse lets you know exactly how she
feels. You also know how a coyote or mountain lion feels the second you find
yourself in their company.”
He
grinned. “You in the company of those animals often up here?”
She
shrugged. “Faust comes by when he’s hungry and—” At his intent stare, she
halted. “Anyway, you were leaving, right?”
