As Kat shoved bottles of beer into an ice-filled tub at the bar and watched Ben and Liz over in the corner of the saloon, she thought, Déjà vu.

She couldn’t count how many times Ben had taken a woman over to that shadowed area, a new Rolex shining from his partner’s wrist, a kiss turning into a caress turning into a hot rush of lust as he whisked her out of the saloon.

But, this time, it was a “wife” he was kissing.

Was this part of his braindead marriage plan? Was he going to break that sweet girl’s heart before long, even if his intentions weren’t bad, just misguided? Kat kinda liked Liz—she’d had a fine sense of humor with Jimmy Beetles and his shenanigans, and she seemed nice enough. Also, she’d given Kat the makeup when she didn’t have to.

Conscious of the color she’d lightly run over her lips, Kat pushed the tub of beer in front of Hooper and Dustin, two of her regulars. She’d been trying not to look at the other side of the saloon, though.

Isaiah Smith. At a table. Sitting there like he was waiting for her to make eye contact.

Damn, he was probably going to think she’d put on the lipstick and watered down her hair in the general store restroom for him. But why else would she have done it? For her own vanity? Good one.

Kat didn’t have long to wonder about what was on his mind, because when more staff showed up to help with the Friday night rush, thanks to the R&T’s Tubs o’ Beer weekends and the band, Kat was able to take a breather, look up from wiping her hands on a towel, and find Isaiah Smith crooking his finger at her from his table.

Come on over.

It was like arrows were shooting through her veins and leaving drifting hearts behind. Or . . . whatever. Shit, how dumb. Still, she flooded up with hot and cold sensations that mixed together, not knowing what to do with them.

But she was on duty and he was a customer. Maybe he needed something, so she skulked from behind the bar and through the crowd that was drinking and dancing to the band that’d started up in the courtyard, the rowdy tunes coming through the open door. By the time she arrived at Isaiah’s table, he’d already set down the paperback he’d been reading—an urban legend book she hadn’t liked the look of—and stood from his chair, tall and big, making her pulse stomp to the heavy, down-home beat of music.

She hoped to God he wasn’t going to quiz her about urban legends, seeing as she’d contributed to a secret one she still couldn’t believe had happened all those years ago.

Tell me, Katrina—did Clay take the silver with him or are you hiding it somewhere for him? You know I’m gonna find out sooner or later, so just tell me now . . . make this easy on yourself . . .

Kat put that behind her, though.
