Holt had just left Robby’s room after reading him a story and telling him a story—about the tortoise and the hare, which he loved—when the knocking on the front door began. He glanced at his phone for the time. Past nine.

That was weird. Since arriving in town a year ago, Holt had kept to himself, well, except for the dating he’d done when he’d first moved here, trying to find his Ms. Right and a mother for Robby and failing miserably on both counts. He hadn’t made friends off the ranch; he simply had no time between work and raising his son. His brothers were his social life. And none of them would be banging on the door this late, knowing it was past Robby’s bedtime.

Maybe it was Amanda. Maybe she’d changed her mind about doing the race with Robby. About their entire arrangement. Holt sure hoped that wasn’t the case.

But no way would Amanda be knocking on the door right now. She wouldn’t risk waking up Robby either; she would have texted to say she was outside.

Holt glanced out the window on the second-floor landing. A silver Range Rover was idling in the drive. Did he know anyone who drove a Range Rover? He didn’t think so.

Bentley had come bounding out of Robby’s room and stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for him. Luckily, the dog didn’t bark and wake up Robby, who’d finally gotten to sleep after being so excited about participating in the fun run with Amanda. They headed down, Holt wondering who was on the other side of the front door.

With Bentley at his side, Holt opened the door to find a total stranger with a spitting mad expression. Whoa, dude. The man was in his late forties, maybe early fifties, with a receding hairline and a bit of a paunch. He wore expensive leather shoes—not the work boots or cowboy boots you saw on a cattle ranch.

“You Holt Dalton?” the man asked, anger radiating out of his narrowed blue eyes.

“I am,” he said. Once upon a time, Holt would have deflected, given his troublemaking days. Now, he had nothing to hide. “What’s this about?”

“I went to the main house and spoke to the owner of the ranch. A Neal Dalton. He said to talk to you.”

Huh? His dad had told this man to come talk to Holt? “About?” he asked, wondering what the hell was going on. He stepped out onto the porch, letting Bentley out too, and keeping the front door just slightly ajar.

“One of your cowboys, ranch hands, whatever the hell they’re called, is corrupting my daughter,” the man said. “She’s only eighteen and a college freshman. I want you to call him off.”

Holt gaped at the man. “Call him off? What’s the issue, exactly?”

“The issue is that he’s a troublemaker who is not going to mess up my daughter’s life. I want you to put an end to their relationship.”

So this man had gone to the main house,
