Is He A Big-Sky Kind Of Guy?
All Nick Brand wants to see of Montana is a for-sale sign on his family’s in-dispute land. That’s before the fast-track Chicago lawyer meets the ranch hand who’s been hired to help clean up the property. Dallas Dalton can rope a steer, ace a barrel-racing competition...and lasso her way into one smitten bachelor’s heart.
Raised on the rodeo circuit, Dallas lives to compete—while guarding against future heartbreak. Now she just wants to muss up Nick’s hair and show him how this Western woman is won! The refined attorney is a world away from the rough-and-tumble cowboys Dallas knows. Yet deep down, she and Nick desire the same thing. Is he ready to trade his Eastern view for the big sky with a cowgirl who’s through singing the blues?
“I was hoping—” Nick sought out her eyes as he continued “—that you would have dinner with me tonight.”
She was so disarmed by his simple invitation, wrapped up in an incredible surprise visit at her rodeo and the little jump of her heart when she had first seen him.
“All right,” Dallas said with a nod of her head.
“All right?” He repeated her response as a question as if he didn’t believe her the first time.
This small sliver of insecurity in a man who always seemed perfectly secure made her smile at him. “I’d like to. Yes.”
The idea of sharing a meal with Nick instead of spending the night alone, mentally rewinding and reviewing her mistakes in her head, sounded like the best alternative option she’d had in a long, long while.
“We could eat here, if you have the kind of stomach that can handle the-greasier-the-better rodeo food.”
“I have a room at the Omni downtown.” Nick pushed away from the trailer and took a step toward her. “Their steak house is supposed to be one of the best in Fort Worth. How does that sound?”
A thick, juicy steak or the stale ham sandwich she had leftover from lunch?
“Like a good idea.”
