“Where’s the fun in that? ‘Sides, you two shoulda been done moving them cattle a good while ago.”
Chance’s brow furrowed. “Max, who writes out your paycheque? And we weren’t—”
RORY’S LAST CHANCE

“Um, Chance—” Rory wasn’t sure what was fixing to come out of his lover’s mouth.
“As I was saying, I’ve got the biggest smartasses in the world working for me. And we weren’t doing anything!” Chance swung down from the horse and handed over the reins.
“‘Course not.” Max chuckled and led Zeus off.
“You ready to tell us what happened?” Rory checked his sister over thoroughly. Their father had never struck her before, but he’d never been as hateful as he’d become in the past year or so.
“I couldn’t take listening to him anymore, Rory.” Annabelle shrugged. “He’s full of so much hate and anger, and I’m not going to hide the fact that you’re my brother and I love you. If that means he sells the Mossy G, well…”
“You love that ranch, sis. We’ll figure out something.” Rory stopped because Annabelle was already shaking her head.
“That’s just a place, Rory. All the good memories are in here, and here.” Annabelle tapped her head first then her heart.
“You’re so hired,” Chance’s deep voice cut through the silence.
Who’d have known all those months ago that the instant and irresistible pull he’d felt for one nearly panicked man in a club would lead to this? Fate had brought them together, not once but twice. They’d worked out their differences and faced things that might have forced other people apart, but had only served to bring them closer together.
Now, Rory watched as Chance looped his arm through Annabelle’s. He’d thought his life was complete before, but with Annabelle here, his heart was overflowing. Family, friends, and the love of not only a good man, but the best man. Rory felt like he was living a fairy tale—and that was more than okay, because he knew that, even though there were sure to be a few bumps along the way, he and Chance would have their happily ever after.
About the Author
A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are resounds for pounding away at the keyboard, as are the early morning hours. Sleep?
Doesn’t happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey’s brain, demanding to be let out.
Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey’s office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey’s presence can result in what is known as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.
