Charlene Sands - Sunset Seduction

“I’m looking forward to it.” Audrey really meant it. She’d been unnerved coming here to face Luke. She’d lost her courage in confronting him, but she’d gained something, too. A job and a chance to matter, doing something she loved to do. She was looking forward to working with Trib and the other horses, spending time on the ranch and getting to know Sophia better. “And who knows, we might just diffuse the toxic levels of testosterone around here.”

Sophia laughed lightly. “We can certainly try. I think you and I are going to be great friends.”

Her heart panged with warmth. She could use a new friend. “Me, too.”

“Hey, everyone, I’d like you to meet Katherine Grady. She goes by Kat.”

At the sound of Luke’s voice, Audrey whirled toward the kitchen door. A Marilyn Monroe look-alike with platinum-blond hair stood beside him, her wide green eyes fashionably made-up to match her pretty emerald-and-blue outfit. She held on to Luke’s arm and darn if Audrey didn’t hone right in on that. A flashback of rodeo groupies—pouty pink lips and all—came to mind. Her heart sank. She struggled to keep her expression from taking a nosedive in front of everybody.

“Nice to meet you,” Kat said, her voice soft as butter.

Suddenly, Audrey’s head clouded up and spun. It was like the time she’d climbed onto the mechanical bull at Dusty’s Dancehall in Texas. She’d been sixteen and trying to prove to the guys she wasn’t a child. As soon as the bull started bucking, everything in that honky-tonk got blurry real fast. Only this was worse.

The world around her began to fade. Her legs went numb. She reached forward to grip the kitchen counter and missed, scraping her fingernails on the sharp edges. Desperate to hold on, her arms flailed. She needed support. But it was too late.

Blackness surrounded her.

Right before all the lights went out.
