Pete stared at the silent radio, considering Chelsea’s invitation. But he’d been to the single-room cabin in section twelve. He couldn’t sleep there with her.

But he had a tent. And a horse. And a million reasons why he should stay away from the damaged Chelsea Ackerman.

Something pulled him toward her, his insane need to help her heal. He’d spent the few hours since she’d left trying to figure out what about her sang to him so strongly.

It wasn’t her eyes, though they opened to her soul like pools of starlight.

It wasn’t her magnetic personality, though she was easy to talk to, easy to be himself with, easy to enjoy.

It wasn’t her sacrificing spirit, though he knew she didn’t want to be at Three Rivers.

It was because she needed his help, and he couldn’t stand seeing an animal in need, horse or woman. Though if he was being honest with himself, helping a beautiful woman was much more satisfying than assisting a horse.

With that thought, he knew he was sunk. He’d be saddling Baywatch as soon as his chores were done for the day, and he’d be in section twelve as fast as the horse would take him.

To stop himself from packing straightaway, he dialed his Army pal, who Pete hoped would be available to build his training facilities and homestead.

“Lieutenant Peter Marshall.” Brett’s voice came through the line with a vein of appreciation and amusement. “What are you up to?”

Pete chuckled and removed his cowboy hat to scrub his buzz cut. “Brett, how long you been back?”

“Long enough to miss your ugly mug.” He laughed, and Pete realized he did miss his comrades in arms.

“You still doin’ construction?”

“Yeah.” His voice stretched like he’d been roofing all morning.

“You tied to Oklahoma City?”

“Right now, I am. Just finishing up a basement remodel for one of my mom’s friends. What you got goin’ on?”

“I put in for a construction loan for a homestead and horse training facilities.” A buzz vibrated beneath Pete’s skin, and a smile split his face. “I’m startin’ an equine therapy program.”

Brett whistled and scuffling came through the line. “I’d love to come work on that with you. Where you located?”

“Just outside Amarillo.”

Brett exhaled. “I’d love to get out of Oklahoma for a while. When does the job start?”

“Just waitin’ on the loan.”

“I’ve got nothin’ lined up after this basement remodel, and I’ll be done with that next week.”

“I’ll call you as soon as I know.” Pete hung up, a spread of happiness flowing through him. He needed to get those applications over to the bank, pronto.

Unable to stall any longer, Pete headed over to the admin trailer, his assignment in the barns complete. He found Tom at the front desk, bent over a file of paperwork.

“The horses are happy,” Pete said.

“Good.” Tom leaned back and rolled out his shoulders. “And how’s the princess at the palace? Is she happy too?”

Pete would’ve bristled if there had been any malice in Tom’s voice. But the cowboy was as gentle as a kitten.
