Chapter 9

“Got a call from Angel Monnet yesterday afternoon.” Chase Aaron sat in the leather visitor chair in Hunter’s office. The power office gleamed with leather and chrome — the trappings made Hunter nervous, like he was playing in someone else’s world.

When Hunter had been in the field, he’d run his business stuff out of his truck and a room in his old house he’d called the study. Now, he’d moved into a big shiny office, bought a house to match his new title, and was raising a seven-year-old. In less than a year.

“She mad?” Hunter chuckled. Angel had left skid marks on the road outside his house she’d taken off so fast.

“Let’s say concerned. So I take it this wife of yours is the one you left a message about getting an annulment from? You’ve changed your mind?” Chase crossed his leg over his knee, his tailored black suit and peach shirt making him look less like a lawyer and more like a fashion designer.

“We’ve come to an understanding.” Hunter shrugged. “Eventually, we’ll divorce but for right now, we’re a happy home. At least where Angel’s concerned.”

Chase shook his head. “I think you’re playing with fire here. What do you know about this woman? If you were going to pick a wife off the street, you should have gone shopping at the church. There’re lots of desperate women there with no baggage who would have jumped at the chance to be Mrs. Hunter Martin.”

“Barb gets it. She knows this is for Kati, not us. Besides, I didn’t plan on marrying her — or anyone. That kind of just happened.” Hunter tapped his pen on the desk. “We’ll sort the marriage thing out when I know Kati’s safe.”

“And what if she just happens to get pregnant? Have you thought about that? Then you’ll be stuck with alimony and child support until the kid turns eighteen. Not all women are honest about using protection.”

“We’re not having sex. And if we were, I know how to protect myself just fine. You haven’t had to bail me out of any child support issues before, why are you worried now?” Hunter stood and walked to the bank of windows overlooking the Boise River and the foothills. Yes, the prior manager knew his stuff when it came to appearances.

“Did you know she was married before?”

Chase’s words jerked him away from the peaceful scene outside the window. “What are you talking about?”

“According to legal records, Barb Carico married Kevin Flavin two years ago. They were divorced six months later.” Chase was watching Hunter’s face. “I called the guy. He was pretty bitter. Said Barb dropped him after he hurt his back and couldn’t ride anymore.”

“A bull rider?” Hunter sat in one of the leather chairs next to Chase.

“An ex-bull rider. Apparently, Barb was his manager. He was her first client. Then they got married in Vegas after he placed in the championship that year. Apparently, on his last ride, he jerked something and couldn’t go back the next season, so she divorced him.
