PATRINA FOREMAN HUMMED softly as she folded the last of her clothes. She took a sidelong glance at the man sleeping in her guest-room bed and noted he was still asleep. If he didn’t wake up pretty soon, she would have to wake him and check his vital signs again. It was sheer luck that she’d come along Craven Road when she had; otherwise, no telling how long he would have remained in that car, unconscious. And with the weather as it was, she didn’t want to think about what might have happened.

Once she’d seen that his injuries were minor, although the force of the impact had literally knocked him out, she’d managed to bring him around long enough to get him out of his vehicle and into hers. And then when she’d reached her ranch, it had been quite a challenge to get him into the house, since he wasn’t exactly a small man. By taking advantage of the moments he regained consciousness, she’d managed to coax him into doing whatever she asked—like stripping down to his boxers and getting into bed under plenty of blankets to stay warm. She seriously doubted he would remember any of it, but she was certain it was something she would never forget.

She hadn’t averted her gaze quickly enough and had seen his manly physique before he’d slipped beneath the covers. She had been nearly overtaken by emotions she couldn’t even begin to name, emotions she hadn’t had to deal with in quite some time. For as long as she lived, she wouldn’t forget the sight of his broad shoulders, taut hips and long, masculine legs. She’d been shocked at how the fire of desire had flickered across every inch of her skin, and how her breath had gotten lodged in her throat.

She’d recognized him the moment she’d opened the door to his car to find him slumped over the steering wheel. Cole Westmoreland, a Texas Ranger who was related to all the other Westmorelands living around these parts. He was Corey Westmoreland’s son, Casey Westmoreland Quinn’s brother and Durango Westmoreland’s cousin. She also knew he was a triplet to Casey and their brother, Clint, whom she’d heard had recently gotten married.

Because the roads were blocked and getting help for Cole would have been next to impossible, she’d made the decision to bring him here. So far he’d been an easygoing patient. It had been five hours since she’d gotten him settled. She figured that pretty soon he would wake up, if for nothing other than to go to the bathroom. And just in case he was hungry, she’d fixed a pot of beef stew.

She glanced out the window. The snow was still falling heavily. The phones lines were down and she could not get a signal on her cell phone. The battery-operated radio in the kitchen said it would be another two days before things let up. It was one of those rare blizzards these parts were prone to in April.
