“This coffee is awful,” Chelsea said, wrinkling her nose.

“I know. I hate hospitals. They’re full of…sick people.” Angelina examined her manicured nails.

“Right now this one is full of the man you want as your husband,” Chelsea said, “so you’d better get used to being here.”

“I know, I know.” Angelina sighed. “This is turning out to be a more difficult project than I had anticipated. With that little trashy cowgirl hanging around him. And now she’s put him in the hospital.”

“It’s too bad your little trick didn’t work.”

“You’re telling me. That stupid flare gun recoiled and gave me a nasty charley horse in my arm.”

“You didn’t spook the bull?”

“I spooked him all right. And she landed on her butt and just sat there crying. I was afraid she’d really been hurt, and I freaked out a little. I never wanted to hurt her.”

Chelsea scoffed. “Why not?”

Angelina looked at her friend’s perfectly made-up face and saw something she wasn’t sure she liked. Did Chelsea really want to see Dusty hurt? The little cowgirl was trashy, sure, but she didn’t deserve that. “I didn’t stick around to see what happened, but she raced today, so obviously she was fine.”

“It didn’t keep her away from the bull then.”

“No, and consequently, it didn’t keep her away from Zach.”

“Well…you and Zach have a history. Can’t you seduce him?”

“Tried it. I kissed him during the barrel race. I thought he was going to respond at first, but he pushed me away. Said he was sorry, but it was over.”

“Hmm.” Chelsea raised her perfectly plucked brows. “How was he in bed?”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“Nothing.” Chelsea grinned, her lined lips curving upward. “I’m just curious.”

“He was great, actually. I always thought things were good between us. How’s Dallas?”

“He’s a cowboy, like Zach.”

Angelina didn’t push, although Chelsea was obviously evading the question. One only had to look at Dallas to know he was a stud in bed. He was as good looking as Zach, only more rugged. If only he weren’t married—

She stopped that thought abruptly. Chelsea was her friend, after all. She cleared her throat. “So what can I do now?”

“What about Harper? He seems interested in her.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“He couldn’t keep his eyes off of her at your party. Didn’t you notice?”

“Not really.”

“And he was with her when she rode the bull today. If you get him interested in her…”

“You want me to sell out my baby brother for a man?”

“Well”—Chelsea’s mouth curled into a smirk—“sometimes, when the stakes are high, one has to up the ante a little.”

“But Harper?” Angelina shook her head. She had been willing to spook a bull, but sacrifice her brother to some low-class rancher girl? Of course, Chelsea did have a point about the stakes. She wanted Zach McCray. And Harper could charm the pants off just about anyone.

“Exactly what do you have in mind?”

Chelsea winked at her. “Come on. Let’s go shopping. There’s a sale on shoes at Nordstrom.”

“And?”

“And my mind is always at its best when I’m trying on shoes.
