Thad leaned back, sipping hot coffee and watching the young woman as she crossed the room to toss another log on the fire. He hadn’t seen her in days. He’d told himself it was because of the many chores around his ranch.

But the truth was, he had been deliberately avoiding her. He’d needed to prove to himself that he could walk away from her.

If he wasn’t careful he’d wind up wanting to protect her all the time.

“Will they sleep through the night?”

“Yep.” He drained his cup and walked to her side.

“But they’ll be awake at dawn. And I promise you, you will be, too.”

“You may as well take this back, Thad. I’ll never be able to use it.”

“Why not?”

“I couldn’t even shoot at coyotes if they attacked my chicks. How could I ever aim it at a man?”

His eyes narrowed.

“What brought all this on?”

“I suppose it’s been growing in my mind for some time.
