Penny had been a good girl at one time in her life, but circumstances and her daddy’s bad gambling habit sent her down the pathway to hell. That path was paved with whiskey and cards. She’d taken the job at the Last Chance Saloon because she’d heard that Miss Adelaide didn’t make the girls work on their backs. However, if an enterprising girl wanted to make some money, she just needed to keep it a secret.

Miss Adelaide was pretty nice compared to some of the other oily sons of bitches Penny’d had the misfortune to work for. Most of them had taken a pound of flesh from her and then kicked her to the curb when someone younger or prettier came along. As long as she did her job, Miss Adelaide treated Penny right proper, with respect and courtesy.

When a customer got out of hand, Dustin protected her and Miss Adelaide gave the man a talking to. Never happened more than once with a customer. It gave her a warm feeling to know she was safe at the Last Chance.

That was, until her daddy got into debt so deep to Buster McGee that Penny’s life was again thrown into a pile of shit. Her daddy begged her to do what Buster said or he’d kill him. What could Penny do? She didn’t necessarily like her daddy, but she didn’t want him dead.

It made her sick to snoop around Miss Adelaide’s things, to listen in on conversations and peek through the keyhole at night when Trevor was in her room. That part she liked to do actually. He was a right handsome man, enough to make her nether regions take notice like they’d never done before.

But the snooping and the poking around she didn’t like one bit. Then there was Buster’s “payment” a couple times a week when Penny told him about what happened at the Last Chance. He always made her suck his little cock and he always smelled like onions. Penny dreamed of having a nice house with a white fence and a couple kids while she did it. It was the only thing that kept her from gagging up her breakfast.

When the two strangers walked in with Trevor, Penny had been lurking in the hallway, listening to Marybeth talk in the kitchen. No one saw her in the shadows, partly because she was tiny and her hair and clothes were dark enough to hide her, and partly because she willed herself to be invisible.

Marybeth had called one of them an angel. Penny watched carefully and nearly gave herself away when she saw him. Tall, broad-shouldered with light brown wavy hair and the most beautiful pair of brown eyes she’d ever laid eyes on. But that wasn’t all of it. His face surely did resemble an angel she’d seen in a book once, kind and full of grace he was.

Penny about fell in love with the stranger before she even knew his name. She crept closer to listen, forcing herself to pay attention when all she wanted to do was find out who he was.
