Susan Sleeman - Rodeo Standoff

“Hold on.” Tessa held up her hands. “I can’t believe you’d let a man we know nothing about into our lives like this. That you’d leave me alone with him while you go about your business.”

“Seriously, girl.” Her father frowned. “You know better than that. Why do you think I’m so late? I was checking him out. His lieutenant says his skills are top-notch, and he’d trust him to protect his own family, which is all I need to know. And as to our family? You know we’re not going anywhere. We’ll still be involved in protecting you and in tracking down this guy who wants to hurt you, but Braden here has insider knowledge we don’t have and can recognize suspicious situations we’d have no idea to look out for.”

“Maybe this is just a random theft.” Tessa sounded like she was grasping at straws to keep from having him around and it stung. “A guy sees the truck running and decides to steal it. Then he finds the bull in the back and dumps him at the arena to get rid of him. Doesn’t even look inside to see if anyone is around.”

“Only one problem with that theory,” Walt said, his gaze going to Tessa. “The truck and trailer were just found abandoned on the far side of town. The thief was after the bull, not the vehicle. Which is positive proof that the primary goal was to harm you.”
