LOVE SOMEBODY LIKE YOU
Caribou Crossing #6
Susan Fox
Released Sept 29th,2015
Kensington: Zebra
With
its breathtaking terrain and welcoming people, the Western town of Caribou
Crossing is the perfect place for a heart to heal, and
for love to blossom once more…
Since the death of her husband three
years ago, young widow Sally Ryland has kept to herself and focused on her
struggling business, Ryland Riding. Folks assume she’s still grieving, because
Sally has never shared the truth about her abusive marriage, or the trust
issues that remain. But when a sexy rodeo rider from her past turns up for a
visit, he’s a reminder of the feisty woman she once was—and maybe still could
be…
Ben Traynor was always attracted to
Sally, but he didn’t move fast enough. Now what Sally needs is patience and
gentleness. With an injury keeping him from his next rodeo, Ben has the perfect
excuse to stick around and help with her chores—and her healing. And as Sally
finds the courage to face her demons and open her heart again, she’ll have to
decide if what she has with Ben is more than safety, gratitude, and short-term
passion, but a forever love…
“Fox knows how to strike just enough sway between sweet and bitter, homespun and steamy.” --Publishers Weekly

Idly, he glanced at the write-up on the back of the
menu. It said that the Gold Pan had been open for ten years, and its name was
in honor of the town’s history. Caribou Crossing had its origins in the 1860s
gold rush. When the gold ran out, it became a ranching community.
Terry
returned. “Just a couple more minutes.”
“No
rush.”
“It
was such a tragedy,” she said, returning to their earlier conversation, “Pete
dying that way. So young, and totally unexpected. Goes to show you never can
tell, right?”
“That’s
the truth.” He’d been riding bucking broncs for more than fifteen years and the
worst he’d done was break some bones.
“It’s
so sad, Sally out there all alone with a broken heart. For a while, folks
thought she was dating Dave Cousins, though he denied it. But it seems he was
telling the truth and they only ever were friends. Guess she’s got no room in
her heart for another man.”
Maybe
that was the reason she hadn’t been receptive to his flirting. Still, a woman
had to move on at some point. His grandma had learned that, after his grandpa
died.
Terry
turned to get Ben’s order. She slipped take-out containers into a couple of
string-handled paper bags with the diner’s name and logo. Eyeing his sling, she
asked, “You gonna be okay with these, hon?”
“Sure.
Thanks, Terry.” He paid, leaving a good-sized tip.
“Hope
to see you again.”
“Thanks,
but I’m just passing through.”
Unless
Sally gave him a reason to stay. Which, he had to admit, didn’t seem likely.
Still, he’d always been an optimist. Couldn’t survive long in the rodeo world
if you weren’t.
