Hot in the Saddle (Heroes in the Saddle Book 1) Page 6

“It’s Jeb from next door.” The man’s gruff voice nearly rattled the pane of glass out of the door.

  Shielding his eyes, Rex opened the back door. “What’s going on?”

  Jeb’s flashlight redirected to a woman’s face, partially shielded by blonde hair and…sunglasses? She held her hands up at her shoulders as if in surrender.

  “The lady here, she says you know her.” Jeb shifted his shotgun away from its deadly aim at her back.

  Tipping her head up, she stretched to her full height of nearly six feet, just a few inches shorter than Rex.

  He snapped on the porch light as she removed her glasses.

  “Holy fu…” Rex had to swallow. Twice.

  Dr. Mina Cooper stood right in front of him, living, breathing, and lifting an eyebrow at him. “Are you gonna keep a girl standing on the back porch all night?”

  Connect With Me

  Firefighters have a very special place in my heart. Two of my uncles were firefighters, and one became a paramedic after he broke his hip during a rescue. The hours they spent protecting their communities, the days when their families didn’t have them with them at home, the knowledge that every time that alarm rang, there was a chance they wouldn’t make it back to the station. We owe these men and women a resounding shout of thanks for risking their lives for us.

  I'd love to hear from you. I've listed all the places I hang out, and I hope you'll connect with me at one or more of them.

  All my best,

  Randi
