      “I’m in this mess because I got shot at, too...”

      Keegan cleared his throat. “Where do we go from here?”

      “Can you drop me here?” Tracy asked. “I’ll get a ride home some other way.”

      “Nope.”

      She frowned. “I wasn’t asking your permission.”

      “I know, but I’m going to go with you. I’m helping. I’m awesome like that.”

      Again, she shifted. “Keegan, I’m involved in a mess and I’ll get out of it. By myself. Do you understand?”

      He heard his mama’s voice in his head. Don’t be pushy, Keegan. Not everyone gallops through life like you do. Speed, excitement and danger were the stuff that made life worth living, and too much slow contemplation time could drive a man crazy.

      He heaved out a breath. “This isn’t something you should face alone. You saw a murder and it’s possible the murderer is still out there.”

      She didn’t answer but he knew she was thinking the same as him.

      And he knows who you are.

      Dear Reader,

      I just love a good cowboy story, don’t you? It has been such fun to write the Thorn brothers’ stories, from oldest, Barrett, to youngest brother, Keegan. Throughout the series, Keegan has struggled to feel a sense of belonging, to find a place where he feels loved and valued. We all search for that kind of place, don’t we? Isn’t it nice to know that God has a room waiting for us where we will be fully loved and completely accepted? I can’t imagine a happier ending than that!

      It has been my pleasure to gallop with you through Gold Country in this four-book series. I hope you will come along with me on the next adventure, too! As always, I love to hear from my readers. You can contact me via my website at www.danamentink.com and there’s a place to sign up for my quarterly newsletter. There is also a post office box listed below. Thanks again, dear readers, and God bless you!
