general store. Sam’s wife’s family owned and operated the Sweetheart Inn for fifty years. It burned down in the fire so now Annie and her mother help Sam run the Gold Nugget as well as oversee the Sweetheart Memorial. The Yeungs’ ancestors settled here during the 1870s when the railroad came through. As did a lot of other families.”

      Sweetheart wasn’t just a small town. Its citizens were a large extended family.

      How had her wanderlust-loving sister wound up here?

      Demitri’s last breakup, Ruby answered herself. Scarlett had been heartsick, as usual, quit her job and found a new one here. Miles away from San Diego.

      Sadly, her sister would likely follow the same path again. Cliff was lucky he got out when he did. Before he fell head over heels for Scarlett.

      Ruby recalled the bouquet of flowers. Had he fallen already?

      Did she care one way or the other?

      “You’re a natural,” she observed, inclining her head in the direction of the young girl.

      “I’m used to young kids. My cousin has three. Two girls and a boy. Seven, five and two respectively. She’s a single working mom, so I help out when I can.”

      “You babysit your nieces and nephew?”

      “The term’s subjective. My cousin claims I’m merely an adult presence in the room.”

      Ruby suspected he was wonderful with them and that they adored him.

      How was it some woman hadn’t snatched him up yet? From all accounts, he was a catch.

      “Look, there’s the ranch,” someone called out.

      They’d reached the top of a gently sloping hill. In the distance, about a mile away by Ruby’s estimation, was the ranch, the main house and outbuildings, recognizable by their distinctive shapes. The ride was nearing its end.

      To her surprise, Ruby felt a stab of disappointment and not just because she’d enjoyed being on horseback. Cliff’s company was a welcome diversion from the constant worry and stress she’d been dealing with since Crowley had first come into the casino and chosen to target her simply because she’d discouraged his inappropriate attention.

      Then again, she reminded herself, Cliff wouldn’t be far away for very long. There was the square dance Friday night and his regularly checking in with her.

      The prospect reassured her. Cliff was capable and committed to her safekeeping. It also sent a mild thrill coursing through her.

      Great. Only a few hours into their acquaintance and she was already anticipating his company. What would she be like at the end of a week?

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
