      “Suddenly, I feel like living dangerously.” He deliberately stared at her mouth.

      “Really?”

      She sounded breathless. Was it from walking up the hill? Or the idea of what his living dangerously might mean for her?

      “Yeah,” he said. “What do you think about that?”

      She stared at him. Her cheeks were red and her hair was flying around her face, full of static electricity from her cap. “Living dangerously. I’ve spent a lifetime doing just the opposite, being very careful to do just the right thing.”

      “And now?”

      “And now, I think I might be done with that.”

      What was she saying? There could be no room for misinterpretation here. He leaned close, whispered in her ear so the little girls could not hear. “I want you in my bed, Laura.”

      “I’m not in a place where I can make any commitments, Rico.”

      “I’m not asking for any. Or expecting any,” he added. Hoping, yeah, but he didn’t need to say that.

      “Then I say yes.”

      Don’t miss the next romance in Beverly Long’s exciting miniseries, Wingman Security!

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you for the opportunity to share Laura and Rico’s story. I’m super excited that it’s set in Colorado. My grandparents homesteaded on the western slope of Colorado in the early 1930s. My mother, who claimed she could ride a horse before she could walk, had wonderful stories about her childhood on the mountain ranch. She left Colorado to marry my dad and they settled in Illinois. My grandparents, however, continued to live in Colorado until their deaths many years later.

      In the summers, my parents would load up the Buick LeSabre with their five children (yes, those cars really were big enough for seven) and we would drive from Illinois to Colorado and spend two weeks with my grandparents. The excitement of seeing the mountains and knowing that we were close is a feeling that I will never forget. By then, my grandparents had left the ranch and were living in town. Aunts and uncles and cousins, who all still lived in Colorado, would arrive. We’d play canasta, catch frogs in the drainage ditch and pick tomatoes out of the garden that were delicious with just a little salt.
