SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY not going to change the name.

Garrett stared at the woman standing in front of him, shock still reverberating through him. He knew he was being unfriendly and difficult, and he didn’t give a damn.

“You are not changing the name,” he said.

Charity Golding, the daughter of the town’s doctor and the girl who’d once haunted his dreams back when he’d been a senior in high school, kept that calm and vaguely patronizing smile on her face. “Oh, don’t worry, I’ve got a really lovely alternative. It’s—”

“You’re not changing it.” He could hear the flat note in his voice, knew he was being a dick, but he couldn’t seem to help himself.

His morning had started out badly with yet another phone call from his uncle trying to manipulate him into selling the ranch, only for things to get worse when he’d arrived in town and realized he’d left his wallet at home, which meant he couldn’t buy the fencing materials he’d come into town to get. Then it had descended into extensively crappy with the discovery that the new owner of the yarn store—which he’d decided to poke his head into just out of interest—was not only Charity Golding, but she was also going to change the name of a business that his grandma had poured the last thirty years of her life into.

Charity Golding, who just happened to be as cute and sexy as she’d been thirteen years ago, all bouncing red curls, adorable freckles, eyes the same color as the delphiniums that his grandma kept in a vase on the kitchen table, and a body curvy enough to fuel a man’s fantasies for an entire month of Sundays.

That body was outlined now in a pair of tight-fitting faded jeans and a loose cotton blouse almost the same shade as her eyes, and he was not happy about the way his blood pumped a little harder at the sight of her. Not happy at all.

He’d put her and the ridiculous crush he’d had on her firmly behind him the day he’d dropped out of school. And that had been years ago, for God’s sake. He should not be getting all worked up now and the fact that he was, was just damn irritating.

He’d spent years as a bull rider traveling the circuit, getting high on adrenaline, fame, money, and all the women who’d thrown themselves at him. Until he’d given it all up to take care of his grandmother. And he hadn’t looked back, not even once. He’d stuck to ranching, unlike his old man. He’d kept his eyes on the straight and narrow, which did not include one pretty redhead he still had the hots for.

And most especially not when said pretty redhead was changing the name of the yarn store.

It was a little thing, maybe, and in the normal scheme of things he might have let it go. But he was in a bad mood and his gran had loved the store, and he was absolutely not going to stand for it.
