    The Cowboy in Love - Maggie West

    Chapter One

    Angela Winston walked to the corral and whistled for her horses. The more compliant ones trotted to her. Angela imagined them thinking What’s she got for us today? as they rushed toward her, stopping at the fence in front of where she stood. She held out her hand and let Alphabet Soup and Miss Majesty each take a full carrot from her extended palms. Their whiskery lips brushed her palms with wetness.

    The early spring morning was cool, but the sun shining down felt like a warm blanket against her chilly back. Angela had come out into the foggy morning with just her long-sleeved shirt, forgoing a jacket. She grasped the fence in front of her watching the mares eating then raised her face to the sky, taking in the sun’s rays. Sweet Pea trotted to the fence and bumped Angela’s hands with her nose.

    Ah, so you decided to come see me, did you? Angela said, laughing at the way the horse gently nudged her hands. Angela reached into her pants pocket for another carrot and held it straight out through the fence. Sweet Pea eagerly snapped it in two and munched on the vegetable then retrieved the rest from the corral floor.

    Watching Sweet Pea eating the carrot, Angela noticed that the hooves on her feet were overgrown. Looks like you need a trim there, girly, Angela said, reaching out and petting her neck.

    Reaching into her back pocket, Angela retrieved her phone to dial the farrier’s number. He’d been back several times since he’d initially shod her horses, but things were tense. Last fall when Tyler Barrett had come to Colorado and started his horseshoeing business, she had been one of Tyler’s first clients. And she had to say she’d broken him in and good.

    Angela smiled remembering his first two visits when they’d had sex in the little bedroom downstairs. She felt herself grow warm and tingly thinking about their brief encounters. He had been young and eager and just what she needed. But she had only had those two times with the younger man.

    It’s a shame the boy has a conscience, she muttered, looking at the phone and scrolling through the list of names till she found his. The entry on her phone for Barrett Horseshoeing simply read farrier. Barrett Horseshoeing, Tyler’s business, was the only horseshoer around for miles. She knew it would be silly to call someone else who would have to drive farther and subsequently charge more to tend to their horses. Though they didn’t need to mind their pennies, with twelve head of horses, Angela and Carl Winston spent a nice chunk of change on their care. And when it came to caring for their herd, Angela knew that Carl was practical. He wanted to use the local farrier and vet.

    And Angela remembered the extra attention she’d received from Carl since last fall. She didn’t really want to cause a ruckus with Carl since he’d been more attentive lately. At the time, she had wondered when he began paying attention to her again if her husband somehow knew about Tyler and their extracurricular activities. So, even though she and Carl were having romps of their own, she still wouldn’t mind another roll in the hay with Tyler. She wouldn’t mind that at all.

    Noticing the time on her phone, Angela realized it was early. Too early to call Tyler to schedule him to come trim her horses. She’d call him in an hour or so, after 8:00 a.m. She didn’t want to disturb his beauty sleep.

    Chapter Two

    Tyler Barrett stretched, easing his arms over his head then rolled over in bed. He smiled when he saw his girlfriend, Beth Woods, lying beside him. She was still asleep. A lock of her long brown hair was draped across her face, and he blew gently on it to move it aside. He smiled as he watched her reaction.

    What? Beth murmured, batting at the air for a second then instantly falling back asleep.

    Tyler quietly got out of bed, careful not to disturb her any further. Today was a day off for both of them, a rarity lately. Beth was finishing her last semester of vet school in Fort Collins and was home for a three-day weekend. Tyler had made sure to free his schedule so they could spend the entire time together. Or as much time as possible. He knew Beth would want to see her dad and help him out at the Silver Spur. Beth also made it a point to drop in to see how Doc Brown was doing any time she was home whether she was working with the vet or not. And there was Jess, Beth’s childhood friend, who she always spent time with when she was home.

    But Tyler would take
