you’re doing. But we are going to have to do something about these cows in the yard because the first time I step in a pile of shit, you’re going to be missing one from the herd.”
He put a hand up. “We’ll work something out. Tomorrow.”
She nodded. “Tomorrow.”
He tugged open his door. “Let me get these two put up.”
“I think I’ll go take a shower to get the rest of this food off. Meet you in bed in ten minutes?”
He stopped and tapped on the door. A shower. With Shellie. “How about in the shower in five?”
She winked. “Only if you’ll scrub my back.”
“Honey, I’m planning to scrub a hell of a lot more than that.”

Next up in Apple Trail is In The Hay . Drew and Nicolette are only visiting Apple Trail…but they might stick some roots in the ground after the small town charm pulls them in and holds them tight for one long sexy week.
In The Hay – Excerpt
This wasn’t the first time Drew had been caught starting after her. He doubted it would be the last. It couldn’t be helped. Her god-awful dancing had first drawn his eye, but it was the realization she wasn’t drunk, or even drinking, that held his gaze. Moves like those should really only come after shots.
Eight or nine of them.
He wasn’t certain what she was attempting. Looked like a combination of the robot, chicken dance, and hokey-pokey. Bad enough, but made so much worse by the others rhythmically dancing on the floor beside her.
Drew could give her props. What she lacked in talent, she was more than making up for with enthusiasm and seemed to be having the best time. It was a refreshing since he was having his worst.
A cop leaned on the bar next to him and gestured at the girl with his fingertips. “She with you?”
Drew glanced at the red headed beauty. “Ah, no.”
The officer shrugged. “You’re both new around here. I didn’t know if you were together.”
“Nope. Riley Hamilton is my uncle. I’m in town helping him put up his new fence.”
“Good man.” The cop held out his hand and they shook. “Mike Gable.”
“Drew Hamilton.”
“All right.” Mike nodded, his brows pulled into a V as he searched the small bar. “Let me see if I can find who she belongs with. Want to make sure she doesn’t drive out of here drunk.”
“She’s not drinking.” Drew searched the crowd, his chest tightened when he couldn’t find her short, but very nice legs or her just barely long enough yellow skirt. He looked higher and caught a bit of red hair swinging around as she looked to be head-banging to the classic country tune.
Mike winced. “She looks pretty wasted to me.”
“Haven’t seen a drink in her hand all night, but I’ll keep an eye on her for you.” Because he was going to be watching her anyway, and continue looking to see if she was with anyone here.
Only a few had attempted to dance with her. One guy thought to get behind her and hump her, but in both cases, she laughed, scouted away and carried on with flinging her body about. She’d only stopped her attempts long enough to sip from a bottle of water before returning to the middle of the dance floor.
The cop flicked his fingers up. “Don’t want to trouble you, but was just checking.”
Drew smiled at Mike. “Really no trouble at all.”
The door to the packed out bar opened and two tall blondes walked in. They were pretty, but they didn’t draw his eye near like the redhead. She was just…bless her
