Her Christmas Cowboy (6 page)

Daisy stroked Cobalt’s silky coat. “She’s
perfect, and so is her name.”

Trey came to her and placed an arm around her
shoulder. “I expect she’ll be your perfect partner.”

Daisy lifted on tiptoes to plant a deep,
delicious kiss on his mouth, ignoring their captivated audience.
“You know what else is perfect? Christmas in Texas. With you and
our families. I love you Treymont Woods, and I’ll be glad to stay
and be your wife.”

“Oh, Lord.” Treymont Woods kicked up dust on
his boots as he sauntered from the stables to the woman who just
had
to be his new riding student. Her
flaming red hair swooshed from one side of her shoulders to the
other as she watched his stallion, Big Blue, canter inside the
corral. Her hands, knuckles white, clutched the fence and every
muscle in her tall, slim figure looked tight. Before he could get
to her, she pivoted toward the parking area, moving her feet like
she was fixin’ to run.

“Hey there!” he called out as a distraction.
By the time Trey reached the woman’s side, he could hear her
breathing like she’d raced a Texas mile. Before he could introduce
himself, she turned to him with wide green eyes and shouted, “He’s
huge!” Pink splotches bloomed under the freckles on her pale
skin.

She licked her bottom lip and shook her head.
“No, no, no, no….” and started backing away. “I can’t do this. Keep
my deposit. I’ll figure something else out.”

Trey lifted his hands in mock surrender.
“Okay. No problem. You don’t have to ride if you don’t want to.”
Her jeans looked too tight for riding, anyway, and that white
blouse would be smudged inside five minutes. Hadn’t the woman ever
been to a ranch before?

She stopped moving then and frowned at him,
causing twin lines to form above her nose. Her adorable nose, now
that he’d gotten a decent look. In fact, everything about the woman
seemed downright appealing, despite her reaction to Big Blue. Who
in their right mind wouldn’t love the greatest horse that ever
lived, on sight…?

A cowboy with a fractured back and a
cop with a broken spirit heal on a Texas ranch with the help of a
stallion named Big Blue….
